Also from @TissueEngDublin, @RCSI_Irl we see how matrix proteins including laminin-1, fibronectin, and collagen-IV enhance neural cell growth & drive changes at both the whole-cell and nanoscale levels. These insights can help inform the design of biomaterial scaffolds! 🧠🔬

Excited to share our new review paper on organoid bioprinting in @natrevbioeng! 🎉
We highlight recent advances and envision a future that integrates organoid biology and biofabrication approaches to engineer complex tissues. Hope you enjoy! 😊
🔓: rdcu.be/d3H6u
Organoid bioprinting is used to create complex 3D models of human tissues. In this Review, Heilshorn et al. discuss additive manufacturing approaches to advance disease modeling, drug testing, and the production of bioprinted-tissues for clinical use.

Neurotrophic extracellular matrix proteins promote neuronal and iPSC astrocyte progenitor cell- and nano-scale process extension for neural repair applications - O’Connor, C., Mullally, R.E., McComish, S.F., O’Sullivan, J., Woods, I., Schoen, I. et al.
Happy to have this study out where we looked at neuronal and astrocyte progenitor responses to different matrix proteins at the cell and nanoscale level 🔬🧠
Thanks to @anat_soc @ambercentre @IRFUCharTrust for the support
