Figure 1. Extrusion bioprinting process.

Figure 1.

In extrusion bioprinting, a bioink (formulation of cells, often with a material) is deposited from a printer nozzle either onto a surface (top) or within a suspension bath (bottom) with a user-defined pattern. There are numerous commercially available bioprinters and biomaterials for use in bioinks that are making bioprinting accessible to many users.
