Description
Summary:Recent progresses in three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technology accelerate the coming of the era of personalized medicine. With vari- ous printing approaches and materials developed, 3D bioprinting may have a broad range of medical applications, including the fabrication of delicate tissues/organs/or the clinical use in the future or for the es- tablishment of tissues in disease models. The principal advantages of 3D bioprinting are personalized design and precise fabrication, which are of critical importance for tissue engineering. To date, several types of biomimetic tissues, such as cartilage, skin, and vascular tissues have been fabricated by 3D bioprinting (Liaw and Guvendiren, 2017).
