Abstract

Over the past decade, 3D bioengineering has made significant progress and has become one of the most important and promising fields in modern bioengineering and medicine. This technology is driving revolutionary changes and creating new opportunities for organ transplantation, regenerative medicine, and pharmaceutical research, thus transforming traditional medical practices. The article reviews bioprinting technologies, bioinks and their characteristics, as well as the three main stages of bioprinting: pre-bioprinting, bioprinting, and post-bioprinting. Bioprinted tissues, including skin, bone, cartilage, blood vessels, liver tissue, heart, and intestinal tract, are discussed. In conclusion, the article highlights the potential use of bioprinting in the medical field, including regenerative medicine and personalized therapy. This innovative approach is no longer science fiction but is already changing the paradigm of modern medicine, potentially shaping the future of healthcare.
