3D printing of a gradient-patterned tubular scaffold for central nervous system regenerative applications

During the central nervous system (CNS) morphogenesis, chemical gradients of morphogens such as retinoic acid (RA) or sonic hedgehog play a central role in regulating CNS patterning and differentiation of neural subtypes. Recapitulation of these gradients in a 3D hydrogel matrix may provide a model...
