            Figure 6. Amyloid β (Aβ) oligomers in 3D constructs induce neural stem cell (NSC) differentiation three days after bioprinting. (A) Construct with
            neurospheres. (B) Construct with neurospheres + Aβ oligomers. The micrographs indicate a sequence of neurosphere staining, where blue: DAPI (nuclei),
            green: MAP-2  (mature neurons), and red: Nestin  (NSCs), followed by a Z-projection of MAP-2  and Nestin  cells. Scale bars: 20 μm. The 3D plots
