Sampath Boopathi, Parveen Kumar
Abstract
Advanced bioprinting processes enable precise deposition of cells, biomaterials, and bioactive agents to fabricate complex three-dimensional structures that mimic native tissues. Key advancements include multimaterial bioprinting, integration of microfluidics and nanotechnology, 4D bioprinting, and scaffold design and optimization techniques. It has revolutionized tissue engineering and regenerative medicine by providing spatial control over cell placement, creating biomimetic architectures, and incorporating bioactive cues. It has also enabled the development of disease models for drug screening, tissue models for studying biological processes, and the potential for organ transplantation. Advanced bioprinting processes have revolutionized tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, offering unprecedented control over tissue fabrication. The future of bioprinting is bright, as it has great potential applications in areas like customized medicine and organ transplantation.
