Tissue Eng Part B Rev. 2019 Feb;25(1):1-13. doi: 10.1089/ten.TEB.2018.0132. Epub 2018 Oct 12.

Abstract

This review has a broad overview of the current challenges of bioprinted tissues towards clinical translations and future directions to overcome those challenges. The development of this field has a huge impact on the situation of an insufficient number of organ donors for life-saving organ transplantations.

Keywords: angiogenesis; bioprinting; oxygen-generating material; suppressing cellular mechanism; vascularized tissue.
