Description
Description
3D Bioprinting and Bioinks for Regenerative Engineering: Current Concepts and Future Advances covers bioinks and their associated materials, design formulations, biological interactions, commercial products, and diverse applications in regenerative engineering of various tissues and organs. Part I lays the foundation for bioink concepts and their significance. Part II delves into various 3D printing technologies that enable the creation of complex biological structures. Part III focuses on the fundamentals of bioinks—critical materials that play a key role in printing viable tissues. In Part IV, attention shifts to the process of printing and the development of tissue and organ constructs.
Finally, Part V addresses regulatory considerations and offers insights into future perspectives, emphasizing the challenges and opportunities ahead as the field continues to evolve. As the field is on the verge of a new era in engineering tissues, and tissue/body on a chip technologies will play a central role, bioinks are becoming a multidisciplinary field involving materials science, cell biology, biofabrication, and clinical applications. By combining cutting-edge research, practical applications, and expert contributions, this book will become an indispensable resource for both newcomers and experienced professionals.
