At labs around the world, researchers have been experimenting with
bioprinting, first just to see whether it was possible to push
cells through a printhead without killing them (in most cases it
is), and then trying to make cartilage, bone, skin, blood vessels,
small bits of liver and other tissues. There are other ways to try
to "engineer" tissue - one involves creating a scaffold out of
plastics or other materials and adding cells to it. In theory, at
least, a bioprinter has advantages in manipulating control of the
placement of cells and other components to mimic natural
structures.But just as the claims made for 3-D printing technology
sometimes exceed the reality, the field of bioprinting has seen its
share of hype. The reality is that, although bioprinting
researchers have made great strides, there are many formidable
obstacles to overcome. Nobody who has any credibility claims they
can print organs, or believes in their heart of hearts that that
will happen in the next 20 years, but for operations like hip
replacement, advance in Bio-printing has made customization of
certain body parts possible.This book will start from the concept
of Tissue Engineering, covering various approaches in Scaffolds for
tissue engineering, Bioprinting techniques and Materials for
bioprinting, Cell processing, 3D cell culture techniques,
Computational design and simulation, multi-disciplinary approaches
in bioprinting and finally cover the applications of bioprinting.
