The ability to model CNS tissues in vitro for in vivo transplantation has the potential to be of critical importance in a variety of medical conditions such as spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, stroke, and degenerative neurologic disease. Our approach to generating functional CNS tissue constructs relies on a “multiprong” combination of sophisticated 3D bioprinting and cell culture expertise. Here, as an example for utilizing novel 3D neurobioprinting, we have devised a method to model the cytoarchitecture of spinal cord tissue.
