Coaxial bioprinting of microsphere bioink to engineer heterogeneous vascularized lung cancer model

Key Points

• The coaxial bioprinting technique successfully creates a heterogeneous vascularized lung cancer model.
• Using microsphere bioink, the model exhibits enhanced mimicking of the tumor microenvironment.
• The approach allows for the integration of vascularization, essential for cancer tissue development.
• Findings may enable better drug testing and understanding of lung cancer dynamics in lab settings.
