Abstract
Provided herein are methods and systems for bio-printing of three-dimensional cell-containing matrixes. Further, provided herein are methods and systems for generating a three-dimensional (3D) structure corresponding to a biological material, such as a kidney or lung comprising either nephron or alveolar structures. Also provided herein are bio-printed three-dimensional matrices for use in the generation nephron and/or alveolar structures.

A method for generating a three-dimensional (3D) structure corresponding to a biological material comprising a subunit having a surface for performing a biological function, comprising:
- (a) using at least a number of vessels coupled to said subunit over said surface to generate a superunit comprising said subunit and said vessels in computer memory;
- and
- (b) using one or more computer processors to combine said superunit generated in (a) with one or more other superunits to generate a computer model of said 3D structure corresponding to said biological material.
