Abstract

The increasing need for organ replacements in an aging society and the loss of tissues and organs due to diseases, accidents, and congenital anomalies are driving the development of new techniques such as three-dimensional bioprinting, precision extrusion deposition, bio-fabrication, elective laser sintering, nanocoating, supramolecular materials, stereolithography, induced pluripotent stem cells, and organoids, fused deposition modelling, electrospinning, and three-dimensional printing for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The creation of a wide range of materials, including natural and synthetic polymeric scaffolding materials for therapeutic applications for the repair and regeneration of various deficits and deformities, has been made easier by recent advancements in production techniques and biological materials.
