Abstract
Fabrication of biomaterials for Tissue Engineering application by
bioprinting has gained enormous attention in the research field, owing
to their rapid and reproducibility factor. Progress in organic based
mesoporous particles is of great interest in order to accomplish in
tissue engineering treatments. Recently, researchers are focusing on
different 3D bioinks for attaining 3D matrices to accommodate the drugs
and cells for biological efficacies. Bioprinting is a promising field of
biomaterials and regenerative medicine for the next generation
therapeutics. Different polymeric substances are being evaluated for
their printablity based on their rheological and biological properties.
Structural fidelity is stabilized by crosslinking methods and their
adaptability to microenvironment is assessed using Invitro assays.
External Factors such as concentration, temperature, medium and
crosslinking agents are the critical determinants for the bionks to
achieve the required functionality. Moreover, the choice base chemicals
used for the formulation plays a vital role in the cell viability and
proliferation that lead to specific tissue growth. The mechanical
strength, elastic moduli to bear strength is anchored by the porous
nature of the printed scaffolds. Therefore, the influence of porosity in
the mechanical and biological strength adds an appropriate value to the
printed biomaterial. The present review discusses about the significance
of bioprinting technique and strategies employed for printability and to
achieve porosity in the developed materials
