The primary components of bioprinting include bioinks, bioprinters, and biocompatible scaffolds.
Bioinks: These are formulations of living cells and other biological materials that can be printed layer by layer to form tissues. Bioprinters: Specialized 3D printers designed to handle biological materials. They use different techniques such as inkjet, extrusion, or laser-assisted printing. Biocompatible Scaffolds: Structures made from materials that support cell attachment and growth. Nanotechnology enhances these scaffolds by providing materials with specific mechanical properties and surface characteristics.
