“…In [ 23 ] there is a comprehensive recent review of the state of the art along with new developments and trends in 3D printed functional medical phantoms (i.e., tissue-mimicking medical phantoms, radiologically relevant medical phantoms, and physiological medical phantoms) and 3D bio-printed structures (i.e., hybrid scaffolding materials, convertible scaffolds, and integrated sensors) for regenerated tissues and organs. There is another research on 3D printed tumors that aids researchers in the study of metastasis and leads to facilitating complex treatment, surgery, and therapies [ 24 ]. In this way, 3D printing can significantly improve patient comfort and treatment accuracy [ 25 ].…”

This work is devoted to the development and manufacturing of realistic benchmark phantoms to evaluate the performance of microwave imaging devices. The 3D (3 dimensional) printed phantoms contain several cavities, designed to be filled with liquid solutions that mimic biological tissues in terms of complex permittivity over a wide frequency range. Numerical versions (stereolithography (STL) format files) of these phantoms were used to perform simulations to investigate experimental parameters. The purpose of this paper is two-fold. First, a general methodology for the development of a biological phantom is presented. Second, this approach is applied to the particular case of the experimental device developed by the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications at Politecnico di Torino (POLITO) that currently uses a homogeneous version of the head phantom considered in this paper. Numerical versions of the introduced inhomogeneous head phantoms were used to evaluate the effect of various parameters related to their development, such as the permittivity of the equivalent biological tissue, coupling medium, thickness and nature of the phantom walls, and number of compartments. To shed light on the effects of blood circulation on the recognition of a randomly shaped stroke, a numerical brain model including blood vessels was considered.

“…Personalized treatments can help, for example, patients who need several daily administrations of medication to maintain a certain functional concentration of the active in the organism. The use of solid solutions with hydrophilic polymers or with solubility dependent on the pH of the medium, with a variety of geometries and concentrations, can change the release profile of a drug to reduce the number of daily drug administration [8,14]. Another possibility of using the technique is to produce customized medicines for instantaneous release at the specific site of action, in order to reduce its side effects [13][14][15].…”

3D printing by Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is characterized as a technology to produce threedimensional objects/models from the deposition of successive layers of the molten material of interest, on a work surface of a 3D printer. Most applications of the technique involve the use of conventional polymeric filaments for the production of parts with different geometries, which meet the specific demands of areas such as Engineering, Architecture and Education. In recent years, the manufacture and use of functional, biocompatible and/or biodegradable polymeric filaments containing active substances has been gaining prominence in the literature due to the possibility of producing prosthesis, artificial tissues and medicines with controlled release, at a relatively low cost, high precision and reproducibility. Here, we present a rapid communication about the possibilities of the FDM 3D printing using polymeric filaments, for applications in the field of biotechnology.

3D bioprinting or additive manufacturing is an emerging innovative technology revolutionizing the field of biomedical applications by combining engineering, manufacturing, art, education, and medicine. This process involved incorporating the cells with biocompatible materials to design the required tissue or organ model in situ for various in vivo applications. Conventional 3D printing is involved in constructing the model without incorporating any living components, thereby limiting its use in several recent biological applications. However, this uses additional biological complexities, including material choice, cell types, and their growth and differentiation factors. This state‐of‐the‐art technology consciously summarizes different methods used in bioprinting and their importance and setbacks. It also elaborates on the concept of bioinks and their utility. Biomedical applications such as cancer therapy, tissue engineering, bone regeneration, and wound healing involving 3D printing have gained much attention in recent years. This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of all the aspects associated with 3D bioprinting, from material selection, technology, and fabrication to applications in the biomedical fields. Attempts have been made to highlight each element in detail, along with the associated available reports from recent literature. This review focuses on providing a single platform for cancer and tissue engineering applications associated with 3D bioprinting in the biomedical field.
