Abstract

The shortages in human tissue and organ donors have made clinical therapy relatively challenging. Therefore, research has been initiated over the last decades to develop artificial tissues and organs, particularly from cell and tissue cultures. Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is a recent technology capable of building structures for implantation, and these constructs closely resemble native tissues, such as skin, liver, connective tissues, and supportive tissues (bone and cartilage). In this review, we briefly introduce the structure, function, and development of bone tissues, followed by a detailed discussion on 3D bioprinting techniques, materials, and their recent advancements for clinical applications.
