Abstract
3D bioprinting has opened new possibilities and elevated tissue engineering complexity. Here, we present a protocol to design a 3D model with two cell lineage layers (A549 and HUVEC) to recreate multi-cell constructs. We describe the steps for slicing the constructs, handling hydrogels, and detailing the bioprinting setup. These 3D-bioprinted constructs can be adapted to various cell models-from primary cell cultures to commercial cell lines and induced pluripotent stem cells (IPCs)-and applications, including drug screening and disease modeling. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Cruz et al.1.
