Abstract
Bioprinting, an extension of traditional 3-D printing is the computer-aided additive manufacturing of cells, tissues, and scaffolds to create organs. It has emerged as the most innovative solution to the healthcare catastrophe of organ shortage and transplantation. Bioprinting makes use of rapid prototyping (RP) technology to print cells and biomaterials individually or in tandem, one layer over the other, producing 3-D tissue-like structures which can be reorganized and regrouped together to form vascularized organs. This review paper, sheds light on the current state of the art of bioprinting technology, various bioprinters used and focuses on the potential applications of bioprinted tissues in regenerative medicine. Challenges faced, limitations and future prospects of the technology have also been presented.
