"Using a tissue #engineering approach, and #bioprinting with two #bioinks containing living cells and non-cell materials respectively, the #researchers were able to mimic the arrangement of gray matter and white matter seen in the #brain.
Professor John Forsythe of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, who is leading the research, said while two-dimensional #nerve cell cultures have previously been used to study the formation of nerve networks and disease mechanisms, those relatively flat structures don’t reflect the way #neurons grow and interact with their surroundings."
