Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technologies combined with tissue engineering principles have been developed to create biological tissue constructs that mimic the structural, anatomical, and functional features of native tissues or organs. These cutting-edge technologies may make it possible to deposit multiple cell types and biomaterials precisely into a single 3D tissue architecture. Consequently, 3D bioprinting has rapidly become one the most attractive and powerful tools for providing anatomically and functionally similar human tissues or organs for future clinical applications. Current efforts in 3D bioprinting focus on developing bioink that provides mechanical support as well as tissue-specific microenvironmental cues. This chapter will discuss bioprinting technologies and their applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine research.
