3D bioprinting of hepatocytes: core–shell structured co-cultures with fibroblasts for enhanced functionality
Abstract With the aim of understanding and recapitulating cellular interactions of hepatocytes in their physiological microenvironment and to generate an artificial 3D in vitro model, a co-culture system using 3D extrusion bioprinting was developed. A bioink based on alginate and methylcellulose (al...
