Description
Summary:Today, around the world, we can see how transplant capabilities have potentially grown. Organ transplants can not only extend the life of patients but also significantly improve their quality of life. Until now, cornea, liver, kidneys, lungs, heart, spleen, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, and pancreas have already been transplanted to people. However, there is a serious problem of the shortage of donors. Hence, it is necessary to develop novel methods for creating artificial organs. These methods help us to look for the possible ways of developing the best implants. Three-dimensional bioprinting is an additive bioproduction technology that can accelerate translational research. This may allow the production of artificial tissues and organs that completely replace the damaged organ. In addition, this area of research is diversified thanks to the constant modernization of 30 bioprinters and biomaterials, which play an important role in creating the architecture and functionality of bioprinting design. Here, our research summaries the methods of three- dimensional bioprinting technology and the development of tissue/organ models used in pharmaceutical and toxicological studies.
