Towards 4D Printing presents the current state of three-dimensional
(3D) bioprinting and its recent offspring, 4D bioprinting. These
are attractive approaches to tissue engineering because they hold
the promise of building bulky tissue constructs with incorporated
vasculature. Starting with the discussion of 3D and 4D printing of
inanimate objects, the book presents several 3D bioprinting
techniques and points out the challenges imposed by living cells on
the bioprinting process. It argues that, in order to fine-tune the
bioprinter, one needs a quantitative analysis of the conditions
experienced by cells during printing. Once the printing is over,
the construct evolves according to mechanisms known from
developmental biology. These are described in the book along with
computer simulations that aim to predict the outcome of 3D
bioprinting. In addition, the book provides the latest information
on the principles and applications of 4D bioprinting, such as for
medical devices and assistive technology. The last chapter
discusses the perspectives of the field. This book provides an
up-to date description of the theoretical tools developed for the
optimization of 3D bioprinting, presents the morphogenetic
mechanisms responsible for the post-printing evolution of the
bioprinted construct and describing computational methods for
simulating this evolution, and discusses the leap from 3D to 4D
bioprinting in the light of the latest developments in the field.
Most importantly, Towards 4D Printing explains the importance of
theoretical modeling for the progress of 3D and 4D bioprinting.
