Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematological malignancy that remains a therapeutic challenge due to the high incidence of disease relapse. To better understand resistance mechanisms and identify novel therapies, robust preclinical models mimicking the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment are needed. This study aimed to achieve an automated fabrication process of a three-dimensional (3D) AML disease model that recapitulates the 3D spatial structure of the BM microenvironment and applies to drug screening and investigational studies.

It is associated with lost dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the, a process that is not yet fully understood. To understand this deleterious disorder, there is an immense need to develop efficientthree-dimensional (3D) models that can recapitulate complex organs such as the brain.
