High-Resolution Patterned Cellular Constructs by Droplet-Based 3D Printing

Abstract Bioprinting is an emerging technique for the fabrication of living tissues that allows cells to be arranged in predetermined three-dimensional (3D) architectures. However, to date, there are limited examples of bioprinted constructs containing multiple cell types patterned at high-resolutio...
