The goal of this procedure is to engineer a raise of identical three-dimensional tissues that are embedded in a collagen gel for use in many experimental contexts, such as determining the influence of mechanical stress on branching morphogenesis.

This manuscript describes a soft lithography-based technique to engineer uniform arrays of three-dimensional (3D) epithelial tissues of defined geometry surrounded by extracellular matrix. This method is amenable to a wide variety of cell types and experimental contexts and allows for high-throughput screening of identical replicates.
