ABSTRACT

3D bioprinting represents a revolutionary convergence of tissue engineering and printing technology aimed at creating functional biological tissues and organs for transplantation. This paper explores the principles and historical development of 3D bioprinting, advances in materials and techniques, and its potential applications in organ transplantation. While significant progress has been made, challenges such as ensuring biocompatibility, regulatory compliance, and ethical considerations remain. The future of 3D bioprinting in regenerative medicine holds promise for personalized medicine and reducing donor organ shortages, contingent on overcoming these hurdles.

Keywords: 3D bioprinting, tissue engineering, organ transplantation, bioinks and regenerative medicine
