Illustrative representation of noninvasive 3D bioprinting technique using digital near-infrared photopolymerization. Non-invasive 3D bioprinting ear-like tissue by DNP process. Representative image of the normal ear (A), mirror image of image (A, B), optimized ear-outline image of (B, C), image printed ear-like construct from the bioink covered over by skin by DNP process (D). live/dead staining for ear constructs encapsulated with chondrocytes bioprinted using bioink covered by skin after cell culture for 7 days (E), non-invasive 3D bioprinting of ear-shaped construct in vivo by DNP-process (F), ear-shaped construct was printed subcutaneously in BALB/nude mice(G, H, E, H) and collagen type II immune staining of retrieved ear shape construct at 1 month (I).
