Applications of 3D Bioprinting

Abstract

Three-dimensional bioprinting has been a powerful tool in patterning and precisely placing biologics including living cells, nucleic acids, drug particles, proteins, and growth factors to recapitulate tissue biology. Since the first time of cytoscribing cells demonstrated by Klebe in 1986, bioprinting has made a substantial leap forward, particularly in the last 10 years, and been widely used in fabrication of living tissues for various application areas. The technology has been recently commercialized by a number of emerging businesses, and bioprinters and bioprinted tissues have gained significant interest in medicine and pharmaceutics. This chapter presents the application areas of bioprinting technology ...
