3D bioprinting
3D bioprinting is a process that uses computer-controlled printers to create complex biological structures, such as tissues or organs, by layer-by-layer depositing cells and biomaterials. Imagine it like traditional 3D printing, but instead of plastic, it uses living cells and compatible materials to build functional biological parts. This technology allows scientists to develop customized tissue models for medical research, drug testing, and potentially transplantable organs, reducing the need for donor organs and improving personalized medicine. It’s a cutting-edge approach that combines engineering, biology, and technology to advance healthcare solutions.
