designed in the current study. (B) The printing principle of the layered gradient brain-like structure.
Figure 3. Configuration process of the bio-ink.
The pH value of the bio-inks was adjusted to 7.4 U87 cells were mixed with the bio-inks to obtain the bio-
with 0.5M NaOH solution (Tianjin, Tianli), and then the inks with 1 × 10 cells/ml.
