Key points from article :
3D cell-patterning shapes active mouse and human embryonic cells into thin layers of extracellular matrix fibers.
Shapes can be used to create bowls, coils, and ripples out of living tissue.
UCSF lab approach uses DNA-programmed assembly of cells (DPAC),
It provides an initial template (pattern) for tissue to later develop.
Could significantly improve the structure, maturation, and vascularization” of tissues in organoids.
The study was published in the Developmental Cell journal.
