Abstract
3D bio-printing technology capable of dispensing live cells, soluble factors, and phase-changing hydrogel in a desired pattern, has great potential in creating 3D tissue. However, maintaining the viability of a thick tissue structure during tissue growth and maturation is challenging due to inadequate vascular perfusion.
