This century is witnessing big advancements in the technologies of medicine. Tissue engineering is a concept which is known but there is an inception of a newer process in this area that is rapidly developing and getting accepted in an awe-inspiring way. This is now called 3D bioprinting which is making an impact in the field of podiatry and its related disciplines. This article gives an outline of Three-Dimensional bioprinting.
Three-Dimensional Bioprinting It is a new biotechnological method which creates a Three-Dimensional structure of the tissues. This process starts with the harvest of cells from the patient and putting it in a laboratory to allow the growth and multiplication of the tissue. These multiplied cells are known as the ‘biological ink’ that are printed by the Three-Dimensional bioprinter on a scaffold and a pattern is followed to arrange the cells into a specific shape…
