Bio printing of Tissues and Organs

Bio printing is the utilization of 3D printing and 3D printing–like techniques to combine cells, growth factors, and biomaterials to fabricate tissue-like structures that are later used in medical and tissue engineering fields.  Bioprinting utilizes a wide range of biomaterials.  Currently 3D bio-printing is used for the printing of scaffolds which is used to regenerate joints and ligaments.  Bio imaging is often used to gain information on the 3-D structure of the observed specimen from the outside, i.e. without physical interference.
