"3D bioprinting is an emerging innovative technology which includes the fabrication of essential 3D functional biomedical constructs by the combination of cells, biomaterials with vital growth and differentiation factors. This technology aims to recapitulate the natural tissue milieu. This advanced approach holds great promise towards various fields especially in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, drug development and testing, precision medicine. The 3D functional tissue construct can address the need for tissues and organs that are suitable for transplantation to overcome the organ shortage and the risk of transplant rejection. The technique can replace the need for animal experimentation and improve the accuracy of preclinical studies for testing the safety and efficacy of new drugs in bioprinted tissues. To gain more insights to disease mechanism, the 3D bioprinted disease specific models help to study, screen the treatment methods and understand the mechanism of action. In personalized medicine, patient specific tissue and organ construct can be developed for specific surgeries and treatments tailored to patient's unique anatomy and genetics"-- Provided by publisher.
