Abstract

The goal of tissue engineering is to create
functional tissues and organs for regenerative therapies, and total organ
transplantation. Bioprinting tissues are one of the most attractive approaches
for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine fields. Fabrication of a complex
structure via bioprinting requires layer-by-layer fabrication strategy.
Bioprinting is mainly based on three processes; imaging and computer aided the
design of the tissue that we wanted to print, the production of bio-ink with
the selection of proper substances, the choice of a proper bioprinter depending
on the product that we want, for fabrication of scaffold and/or tissues. In
recent years the 3D bioprinting technology has been developed and several
approaches appear by the researchers. The approaches are biomimicry, autonomous
self-assembly and mini-tissue building blocks. 
In this study, current and future potential applications of 3D printing
for the tissue engineering and regenerative medicine will be discussed.

Keywords
