Coaxial 3D bioprinting of self-assembled multicellular heterogeneous tumor fibers

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting of living structures with cell-laden biomaterials has been achieved in vitro, however, some cell-cell interactions are limited by the existing hydrogel. To better mimic tumor microenvironment, self-assembled multicellular heterogeneous brain tumor fibers h...
