3D Bioprinting: A Transformative Approach to Personalized Medical Solutions

Abstract

In this review article, we have discussed Three-dimensional bioprinting and its role in Personalized treatments. Bioprinting is 3D printing technology in which live 3D objects like tissues as well as organs are created by using 3D printers, cells, biomaterials, and scaffolds. The organs are printed by superimposing the material by using these tools. Some of the commonly used bioprinters are Inkjet printers, Extrusion-based printers, and Laser-assisted bioprinting. Further, we have discussed Personalized medicine or precision medicine, which has the ability to treat diseases by integrating information about a patient’s genetic factors. Various personalized treatments involve the application of bioprinting, few of them are briefly discussed in this review article such as Tailored design and fabrication, Organ transplant, Personalized cancer models, and Personalized prosthetics and implants. This bioprinting technology is emerging rapidly and it also faces some challenges like regulatory and ethical issues as well as important technical challenges such as ensuring biocompatibility of biomaterials, vascularization, structural stability, and long-term functional durability of the printed tissues or organs. As many scientists and researchers are working hard in this technology, there is a high chance that in the future, bioprinting will overcome all the obstacles and challenges occurring in the process.
