Summary of three dimensional (3D) bioprinting where photocrosslinking was employed showing materials used, type of biomolecules and target tissues. Various biomaterials have been used alone or in combination, such as collagen (Col), gelatin (gel), gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA), dopamine functionalized gelatin methacryloyl (D-GelMA) fibrinogen (Fib), extracellular matrix (ECM), hyaluronic acid (HA), methacrylated-HA (M-HA), alginate (Alg), silk fibroin (SF), cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), chitosan (Ch), gellan (G), gellan gum (GG), methylcellulose (MC), soybean oil epoxidized acrylate (SOEA), galactoglucomannan methacrylates (GGM), polycaprolactone (PCL), polylactide (PLA), methacrylated κ-carrageenan (M-kca), poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), PEG dimethacrylate (PEGDA), poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA), polyethylene oxide (PEO), Pluronic F127 (Plu), biosilica (BS), hydroxyapatite (HAp) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Cells used included human mesenchymal stem cells (HMSCs), bone marrow derived stem cells (BMSCs), adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs), epidermal stem cells (ESCs), human induced pluripotent stem cells (HIPSCs), human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs), porcine aortic valve interstitial cells (VICs), human aortic root smooth muscle cells (SMCs), myoblasts (MBCs), osteosarcoma cells (OCs), cartilage progenitor cells (CPCs), human articular chondrocytes (HACs), periodontal ligament cells (PLCs), hepatic cellss (HCs), neural progenitor cells (NPCs), pancreatic endothelial cells (PECs), human kidney cells (HKCs) and breast cancer cells (BCCs).
