Abstract
Over the last decades, the fabrication of three-dimensional (3D) tissues has become commonplace in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. However, conventional 3D fabrication techniques are limited in their capacity to fabricate complex tissue constructs with the required precision and controllability that is needed to replicate biologically relevant tissues. To this end, 3D bioprinting offers great versatility to fabricate biomimetic volumetric tissues that are structurally and functionally relevant. It enables precise control of the composition, spatial distribution, and architecture of bioprinted constructs facilitating the recapitulation of the delicate shape and structure of targeted organs and tissues. This talk will discuss our recent efforts on developing a series of bioprinting strategies along with various cytocompatible bioink formulations. These platform technologies are likely to provide new opportunities in constructing functional tissues to facilitate regeneration and microtissue models for promoting drug screening.
