A living platform to model complex spinal cord architecture was developed by Ann M. Parr, Michael C. McAlpine, and co‐workers and appears in article number 1801850 . The approach involves the 3D bioprinting of multicellular neural network structures in which stem‐cell derived neural progenitor cell types can be precisely positioned within a neuro‐compatible scaffold via a custom‐built, one‐pot printing process. The platform could ultimately be used to develop a clinical implant for treating neurological diseases, including spinal cord injury.
