Scaffolds for tissue engineering and regeneration by 3D bioprinting

Biomaterials for regenerative purposes are one of the clearest examples of targeted medicine. The rapid advance of tissue engineering and regeneration field, has focused the attention on 3D bioprinting as the main technique to successfully mimic the target tissue, by using specific cell types, biomaterials and polymers, while locally delivering therapeutic agents or bioactive molecules of interest. In this sense, one of the main characteristics of this additive manufacturing technique is its ability to bioprint the desired layers, with specific cell orientation, and desired morphology of the bioprinted 3D scaffold in order to resemble, as much as possible, the mechanical and biological properties of the target tissue for its regeneration.

Description

This cutting-edge approach opens up the possibility of developing by 3D bioprinting the desired tissue scaffolding with full characterization and assessing the in vivo functionality of the graft in both small and large animal models.
