Abstrakt: 3D printing human tissue models derived from stem cells provides an increasingly popular tissue engineering strategy for probing biological questions. Here Yan et al. 1 demonstrate how this technology can be used to model mature human neural tissues with functional neural networks in healthy and disease states.
