| Abstract |
| Three dimensional (3D) bioprinting is the utilization of 3D printing-like techniques in order to combine cells, growth factors, as well as biomaterials to fabricate biomedical parts, that imitates the behavior and structures of natural tissues characteristics. This is through the use of layer-by-layer method; materials known as bio-inks that may be natural or synthetic and can be mixed with living cells; creating tissue-like structures. This technology allows researchers to study human body structure and function in vitro. The 3D bioprinting can be used for several biomedical applications in the fields of tissue engineering. Bioprinting is a new era for printing tissue and organ models beneficial for tissue translation and creating new pharmaceutical development and drug validation strategies. Recently, the 3D bioprinting is incorporate in the printing of scaffolds being used to regenerate joints and ligaments. Also, 3D printed artificial skin and bone grafts, implants as well as full 3D printed organs are currently at the center of bioprinting research. By 3D biotechnology, a new hope for solving different health problems giving better and long health life. |
