Abstract

3D-Bioprinting Applications For the Study of Tissues and Disease

Saviz Ehyai, Product Specialist, CELLINK

3D bioprinting has become an attractive method of studying various tissues and diseases, owing to its ability to better recreate in vivo conditions while culturing. Allowing cells to grow, migrate, and proliferate in a 3D environment results in enhanced secretion of proteins and ECM, with the possibility of printing complex structures housing different cell types, thereby creating superior model systems for study. We present an overview of the 3D bioprinting process, bioink development, and selected applications that have been performed using this technology.
