3D Composite Bioprinting for Fabrication of Artificial Biological Tissues

Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is an important technology for fabricating artificial tissue. To effectively reconstruct the multiscale structure and multi-material gradient of natural tissues and organs, 3D bioprinting has been increasingly developed into multi-process composite mode. The current 3D composite bioprinting is a combination of two or more printing processes, and oftentimes, physical field regulation that can regulate filaments or cells during or after printing may be involved. Correspondingly, both path planning strategy and process control all become more complex. Hence, thecomputer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system that is traditionally used in 3D printing systemis now facing challenges. Thus, the scale information that cannot be modeled in the CAD process should be considered inthe design of CAM by adding a process management module in the traditional CAD/CAM system and add more informationreflecting component gradient in the path planning strategy.

“…Meanwhile, the breakdown of the epithelial barrier and clear destruction of collagen fibrous (the red arrow in Figure 6E Masson staining) tissues were observed in the control (periodontitis) group. This may be related to the local dense infiltration of lymphocytes driving the inflammatory process 50–53 . Previous studies have confirmed that bacteria compromise the physical barrier of the oral mucosa by infecting the oral mucosal tissue 50,54 .…”

Heart-on-a-chip systems: disease modeling and drug screening applications

“…2g–i). 80–82 The conceptual design and construction of a HoC begins with a clear understanding of the target objective(s) and question(s) to be answered, 83 which could preclude certain sub-systems. For instance, a key characteristic of a system intended to model myocardial infarction would be a stable and controllable oxygen gradient, whereas a system designed to quantify contractile forces would perhaps emphasize recapitulating the mechanical properties of the cellular microenvironment.…”

Advanced Nanomaterials in Medical 3D Printing

“…Furthermore, they are conducive to the development of diagnosis, imaging, novel forms of therapeutics, and construction of biomimetic tissues and organs. [ 62 ] One of the challenges in using nanoscale materials for medical applications is the fabrication of complex and functional structures with precise control over shape, size, and composition. Using 3D printing, it is possible to create filamentous structures, [ 63 ] 2.5D structures on a plane, mesoporous structures, and 3D structures at the nanoscale.…”
