Research from Technical University of Darmstadt Has Provided New Data on Regenerative Medicine (Evolution of biofabrication and 3D-bioprinting technologies - from market pull to technology push).

A recent report from the Technical University of Darmstadt in Germany discusses the evolution of biofabrication and 3D-bioprinting technologies in the field of regenerative medicine. Biofabrication involves embedding living cells in a hydrogel matrix and joining them to form tissue structures, which then undergo a growth process to mature into living tissue. Originally motivated by clinical needs, biofabrication has expanded to other markets such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and cellular agriculture. The report provides an overview of the technology's development and its current applications, including engineered living materials. [Extracted from the article]
