Bioprinting of bespoke islet-specific niches to promote maturation of stem cell-derived islets by Myungji Kim, Seungyeon Cho, Dong Gyu Hwang, In Kyong Shim, Song Cheol Kim, Jiwon Jang, Jinah Jang

“…However, stem cell (SC)-derived islets generated in vitro often lack the three-dimensional extracellular microenvironment and peri-vasculature, which leads to the immaturity of SC-derived islets, reducing their ability to detect glucose fluctuations and insulin release. Here, we bioengineer the in vivo-like pancreatic niches by optimizing the combination of pancreatic tissue-specific extracellular matrix and basement membrane proteins and utilizing bioprinting-based geometrical guidance to recreate the spatial pattern of islet peripheries. …”
