3D bioprinting is an emerging innovative technology that involves the fabrication of essential 3D functional biomedical constructs by combining cells and biomaterials with vital growth and differentiation factors. It aims to replicate the natural tissue milieu and holds great promise in fields like tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, drug development and testing, precision medicine, etc. 3D bioprinted disease-specific models help to study, screen the treatment methods and understand the mechanism of action. In personalized medicine, patient-specific tissue and organ constructs can be developed for specific surgeries and treatments tailored to a patient's unique anatomy and genetics. 3D functional tissue construct addresses the problem of organ shortage as it lowers the risk of rejection of tissues and organs. The technique also replaces the need to experiment on animals and improves the accuracy of pre-clinical studies to test the safety and efficacy of new drugs in bioprinted tissues.

This book provides comprehensive coverage of the application of 3D bioprinting technology. It is a collection of contributions by experts with cutting-edge know-how. The book is meant for medical practitioners, pharma companies, CROs, product developers, students, researchers, academicians, policymakers and practitioners.
