Bioengineering | Hot Papers in 3D Bioprinting
Three-dimensional bioprinting is an evolving technology that is used for biomedical research and healthcare. It involves the creation of three-dimensional structures using living cells and biomaterials with the help of a bio-printer. Three-dimensional bioprinting can be used to create complex living tissue structures, such as organs, bones, and skin, which can be used for transplantation and other clinical applications. This technology has become popular in recent years, as it offers a promising solution to organ shortages and could help improve patients’ outcomes. In this context, we are pleased to feature some recently published papers on 3D bioprinting in Bioengineering (ISSN: 2306-5354), which provide valuable insights into this exciting field.
