Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is an advanced biological manufacturing method. It accurately deposits bioinks into pre-designed three-dimensional shapes to create complex biological tissues. This technology aims to print artificial tissues and organs with biological activities and complete physiological ...

Human body constitutes unique biological system containing specific fluid mechanics and biomechanics. Traditional cell culture techniques of 2D and 3D do not recapitulate these specific natures of the human system. In addition, they lack the spatiotemporal conditions of representing the cells. Moreover, ...
Combining this with tissue engineering and 3-dimensional bioprinting and we are edging closer to the possibility of producing bespoke organs. One should not be misled however, as the end goal of a printable kidney is still several decades away, but leaps have been made recently to achieve this...
Research in order that artificial organs can supplement or completely replace the functions of impaired or damaged tissues and internal organs has been underway for many years. The recent clinical development of implantable left ventricular assist devices has revolutionized the treatment of patients with ...
fields like bioengineering, tissue engineering & materials science. In addition, this technology can also be used for drug validation and pharmaceutical development. Currently, clinical settings like bone grafts, 3D printed skin, implants & complete3D printed organsare at the bioprinting research center...
Diseases of the esophagus affect its function and often lead to replacement of long sections of the organ. Current healing methods involve the use of bioscaffolds processed from other animal models. Although the properties of these animal models are not exactly the same as those of the human eso...

Abstract: The field of regenerative medicine is constantly advancing and aims to repair, regenerate, or substitute impaired or unhealthy tissues and organs using cutting-edge approaches such as stem cell-based therapies, gene therapy, and tissue engineering. Nevertheless, incorporating artificial ...
