Bioprinting the Human

Bioprinting the Human Synopsis

Rapidly developing technology also gives direction to our lives in the field of health and medicine. New developments are taking both diagnosis and treatment possibilities to places we could not predict before. The development of tissues and organs in a laboratory environment is one of these developments. This issue, which came to the fore with the introduction of 3D printers into our lives, has now started to mature and experiment in the field of medicine. Using a technology similar to 3D printing that fundamentally changes therapeutic possibilities, bioprinting uses a digital file as a blueprint to produce biomedical parts that closely mimic the properties of natural tissue. Engineered textures are created by layering biomaterials and/or living cells, collectively called bioinks. Transplanting the tissues or organs obtained to the needy patient also prevents possible undesirable situations such as tissue and organ rejection. This book on bioprinting aims to present the basics of bioprinting and its use in major tissues to the reader with the latest developments.
