Abstract
With recent technological advances; complex tissues and organs suitable for transplantation are being made possible by three-dimensions (3D) bioprinting. 3D bioprinting is more complex than conventional 3D printing due to the use of different materials; variation in cell types; addition of growth factors; and technical challenges relating to cell sensitivities. To address these complexities; engineering; biomaterial science; cell biology; physics; and medicine must be integrated. Besides the mentioned tissue types in previous chapters; 3D bioprinting has already been explored for the generation of several other tissues and organs; such as cardiac tissue; kidney; liver; nerve tissue; pancreatic tissue; and lung; which are reviewed in detail in this chapter. In addition; challenges and research trends toward the fabrication of living organs are discussed in brief. This chapter aims at offering an insight into the up-to-date development of bioprinting of complex and functional tissue and organs; which implies that research across disciplines is required to address current challenges in 3D bioprinting for regenerative medicine.
