bioinks
Bioinks are specialized materials used in 3D bioprinting to create living tissues and organs. They typically consist of a mixture of cells, nutrients, and biocompatible substances. When printed layer by layer, bioinks support cell growth and mimic the natural environment, allowing the creation of structures that can potentially function like real tissues. This technology has applications in medicine, such as regenerative therapies, drug testing, and eventually organ transplantation, by providing a way to produce replacement tissues that integrate seamlessly with the human body.
