Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technologies combined with tissue engineering principle have been developed to offer the creation of biological tissue constructs that mimic the structural, anatomical, and functional features of native tissues or organs. These cutting-edge technologies could make it possible to precisely deposit multiple cell types and biomaterials in single 3D tissue architecture. Consequently, 3D bioprinting has rapidly become the most attractive and powerful tool to provide more anatomical and functional similarity of human tissues or organs for future clinical applications. Current efforts in 3D bioprinting are focused on the development of the bioink that provide not only mechanical support but also tissue-specific microenvironmental cues. This chapter introduces 3D bioprinting technologies and their applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
