The Application of Cell Bioprinting

Cell bioprinting can be defined as an advanced technology that fabricates 3D functional multi-cellular tissue in vitro.Due to its interdisciplinary characteristics,high resolution,cell bioprinting has been of considerable importance and popularity in recently.It is a powerful technology for tissue engineering and biological studies.Rather than a single approach,cell bioprinting includes a set of techniques(e.g.inkjet bioprinting,laser based techniques)that transfer biologically materials onto a substrate.Cell bioprinting also provides a new concept that how to construct more naturally 3D tissues or organs in vitro.The principle of these techniques was introduced,An overview of cell bioprinting in biological engineering applications,such as building 3D micro tissue,investigating cell biology,fabricating cell based microarray was also presented.
