Biofabrication of neural microphysiological systems using magnetic spheroid bioprinting.

Abstract:

:The high attrition rate of neuro-pharmaceuticals as they proceed to market necessitates the development of clinically-relevant in vitro neural microphysiological systems that can be utilized during the preclinical screening phase to assess the safety and efficacy of potential compounds. Historically, proposed models have adhered to two distinct approaches; those that are biologically relevant (e.g.-organoids, spheroids) or those that provide engineering control (e.g.-bioprinting, microfluidics). Separately, these approaches fail to fully recapitulate the complex hierarchical structure of the nervous system, limiting their clinical applications. Furthermore, the reliance on manual implementation present in many models fails to effectively scale up or satisfy the consistency standards required for widespread industry adoption. This work serves as a proof-of-concept for merging the two approaches to create a neural microphysiological system that overcomes their individual limitations. Spinal cord spheroids, fabricated using magnetic nanoparticles, are positioned in a three-dimensional hydrogel construct using magnetic bioprinting. Resulting constructs demonstrate both localized cell-cell interactions and long-distance projections that mimic in vivo structure. The use of magnetic nanoparticles for spheroid formation provides batch-to-batch consistency in size and shape and reduces the reliance on trained experimenters for accurate placing for culture. Taken together, this combination approach provides the first steps towards developing a simple approach for integrating spheroid, hydrogel culture, and bioprinting as an alternative to more specialized and expensive processes.
