Mechanically stable fibrin scaffolds promote viability and induce neurite outgrowth in neural aggregates derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells

Abstract Recent work demonstrated that 3D fibrin scaffolds function as an effective substrate for engineering tissues from pluripotent stem cells. However, the rapid degradation rate of fibrin remains a major limitation when differentiating human pluripotent stem cells for tissue engineering applica...
