Assembly Steps

Caption

After cell types labeled with red and green dye markers are joined (bottom), the resulting 3-D structures are purified to eliminate unreacted cells (center). More cells can then be added to form even more complex structures (top). There is no theoretical limit to the number of different cell types that can be assembled; microtissues with three or four different kinds of cells should be feasible.
