3D bioprinting technology bring a new revolutionary wave to healthcare industry. This technology combines biomaterials, bioinks and 3D printing to develop specific structure that mimics functional tissue or organ. Currently, these bio-printed models use as a drug screening and discovery tool to accelerate the production of potential drugs. However, researchers are continually focusing on the development of bioinks with improved mechanical properties, better printability, and biocompatibility to mimic the natural extracellular matrix of tissues.

The recent breakthrough includes the introduction of elastic hydrogel materials, cellular matrix and incorporation of functional cells and tissues, su...
