Abstract

Bioprinting offers unprecedented control in the 3D deposition of cells and biomaterials, but reproducing tissue microarchitecture and cell diversity remains challenging. Brassard et al. now overcome these limitations by bioprinting organoid-forming stem cells at high densities. This study opens new possibilities for controlling tissue structural complexities across multiple length scales.
