3D bioprinting of high cell-density heterogeneous tissue models through spheroid fusion within self-healing hydrogels
Cellular models are needed to study disease in vitro and to screen drugs for toxicity and efficacy. Here the authors develop a bioprinting approach to transfer spheroids into self-healing support hydrogels at high resolution, which enables their patterning and fusion into high-cell density microtiss...

description | Cellular models are needed to study disease in vitro and to screen drugs for toxicity and efficacy. Here the authors develop a bioprinting approach to transfer spheroids into self-healing support hydrogels at high resolution, which enables their patterning and fusion into high-cell density microtissues of prescribed spatial organization. |
