Abstract (original English)

Bioprinting is the process of creating three-dimensional structures consisting of biomaterials, cells, and biomolecules. The current additive manufacturing techniques, inkjet-, extrusion-, and laser-based, create hydrogel structures for cellular encapsulation and support. The requirements for each technique, as well as the technical challenges of printing living cells, are discussed and compared. This review encompasses the current research of bioprinting for tissue engineering and its potential for creating tissue-mimicking structures.

What this study does not prove

  • • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
  • • This is a narrative review: it collects no new patient data and does not systematically appraise evidence quality.
