Bioprinting Technologies: Advancing the Future of Regenerative Medicine and Tissue Engineering
Keywords:
Bioprinting, regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, 3D printingAbstract
Bioprinting, an advanced three-dimensional (3D) printing technology that uses living cells and biomaterials as bioinks, has emerged as a transformative tool in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. This article presents a detailed exploration of bioprinting's potential to revolutionize medical treatments, with a focus on its applications in tissue regeneration, organ printing, and disease modeling. We discuss the key technologies, challenges, and future directions in this rapidly evolving field, emphasizing its profound impact on healthcare and the development of personalized medicine.
