Abstract
The emergence of bioprinting in recent years represents a marvellous advancement in 3D printing technology. It expands the range of 3D printable materials from the world of non-living materials into the world of living materials. Biomaterials play an important role in this paradigm shift. This Special Issue focuses on biomaterials and bioprinting and contains eight articles covering a number of recent topics in this emerging area.
Highlights
Bioprinting represents a new frontier of 3D printing technology
Bioprinting is a comprehensive multidisciplinary research field that involves engineering, biology, material sciences and many more beyond. This leads to a very wide scope in bioprinting research. In this Special Issue, we choose to focus on biomaterials and bioprinting, because this topic represents the fastest growth in this area
Zhou introduces a freshly new approach to bioprinting by exploring the role of ultrasound [3]. He demonstrates that ultrasound could help achieve uniform cell distribution and guide stem cell differentiation at various stages of bioprinting process
Summary
Bioprinting represents a new frontier of 3D printing technology. The process involves the incorporation of living cells or other biological elements with biomaterials for robotic and automated tissue manufacturing. The huge potential of this emerging field motivated this Special Issue. Computer-aided design, cells, biomaterials, bioprinter, bioreactor and preclinical trials, all are necessary components in an integrated bioprinting process chain.
