Figure 4. Examples of bioprinted tissues and organs.

Figure 4

(A) Printed ear-shaped PCL and alginate scaffolds with bioinks localized to certain tissue regions (Lee et al. 2014). (B) Cartilaginous ear scaffolds printed using a novel nanocellulose-alginate bioink supported human chondrocytes (Markstedt et al. 2015). (C) Fabrication of a synthetic nerve graft by printing cell-dense tubes of Schwann cells and BSMC (Owens et al. 2013). (D) Demonstration of the feasibility of printing mouse ganglion and glial cells (Lorber et al. 2014). (E) Printed PEG-based guidance conduits for nerve repair studies, showing their biocompatablity and efficacy (Pateman et al. 2015). Figure adapted from (Owens et al. 2013; Lee et al. 2014; Lorber et al. 2014; Markstedt et al. 2015; Pateman et al. 2015).
