Uniform block copolymer nanofibers for the delivery of paclitaxel in 2D and 3D glioblastoma tumor models.

Cancer treatment has transformed in recent years, with the introduction of immunotherapy providing substantial improvements in prognoses for certain cancers. However, traditional small molecule chemotherapeutics remain the major frontline of defence, and improving their delivery to solid tumors is of utmost importance for improving potency and reducing side effects. Here, length-controlled one-dimensional seed nanofibers ( 25 nm, = 1.

Protocol for 3D Bioprinting Mesenchymal Stem Cell-derived Neural Tissues Using a Fibrin-based Bioink.

Three-dimensional bioprinting utilizes additive manufacturing processes that combine cells and a bioink to create living tissue models that mimic tissues found in vivo. Stem cells can regenerate and differentiate into specialized cell types, making them valuable for research concerning degenerative diseases and their potential treatments. 3D bioprinting stem cell-derived tissues have an advantage over other cell types because they can be expanded in large quantities and then differentiated to multiple cell types.
