Figure 3. 3D bioprinting of cardiac tissue.

Figure 3

Extrusion stereolithography is mostly used for the construction of chambers, valves, small and large vessels of heart, while laser-assisted multiphoton-based inkjet is more suitable for the construction of cellular scale structures. With synthetic cells, the limitation of 3D bioprinting could be greatly diminished due to the stability and artificial characterization of synthetic cells compared to native stem cells.
