a Three components (cell-laden bioink, polycaprolactone (PCL), and sacrificial bioink) were printed in a layer-by-layer fashion using our custom 3D bioprinting system. b Design concept using 3D CAD modeling of the bioprinted construct. The cell-laden bioink containing hMPCs and/or hNSCs, the acellular sacrificing bioink, and the supporting PCL pillar were deposited by the multi-dispensing modules. c Microchannels in the constructs created after the removal of the sacrificial patterns to maintain the viability of printed cells.
