3D tissues and organ printing

3D bioprinting contributes to significant advances in the medical field of tissue
engineering by allowing for research to be done on innovative materials
called biomaterials. Biomaterials are the materials adapted and used for printing
three-dimensional objects. Some of the most notable bioengineered substances
are usually stronger than the average bodily materials, including soft tissue and
bone. These constituents can act as future substitutes, even improvements, for
the original body materials. Alginate, for example, is an anionic polymer with
many biomedical implications including feasibility, strong biocompatibility,
low toxicity, and stronger structural ability in comparison to some of the body's
structural material. Synthetic hydrogels are also commonplace, including PV-
based gels. The combination of acid with a UV-initiated PV-based cross-linker
has been evaluated by the Wake Forest Institute of Medicine and determined to
be a suitable biomaterial. Engineers are also exploring other options such as
printing micro-channels that can maximize the diffusion of nutrients and oxygen
from neighboring tissues In addition, the Defense Threat Reduction
Agency aims to print mini organs such as hearts, livers, and lungs as the
potential to test new drugs more accurately and perhaps eliminate the need for
testing in animals.
