Three-dimensional tissues using human pluripotent stem cell spheroids as biofabrication building blocks.

abstract：:Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) can be differentiated at high efficiency into cells of a targeting type but the resulting cell population has to be of high purity for clinical therapies to avoid teratomas. Herein, we report a microfluidic device with integrated and surface functionalised fishnet-like str...
