Abstract :
Bio-printing is a biomedical application of
additive manufacturing processes to artificially produce
biological tissues. Bio-printing can be defined as the
spatial structuring of living cells and other biological
products by stacking and assembling them using a
computer-assisted layer-by-layer deposition method to
develop living tissues and organs for tissue engineering,
regenerative medicine, pharmacokinetics, and more
general biological research1. It is a recent innovation
that simultaneously positions living cells and
biomaterials layer by layer to make living tissues2. The
main use of printed organs is transplantation3.
Research is currently being conducted on artificial
structures of the heart4, kidneys, liver and other vital
organs. For more complex organs such as the heart,
smaller structures such as heart valves have also been
researched. Some of the printed organs have already
reached clinical implementation but mainly concern
hollow structures such as the bladder as well as vascular
structures.
