Biomanufacturing approaches for liver model construction

Biomanufacturing approaches	Advantage	Disadvantage	References
Inkjet-based bioprinting	Small tissues and organs with high resolution requirements can be constructed, ability to print low-viscosity biomaterials	Inability to provide continuous flow, low vertical structure accuracy, low cell density	[175–178]
Extrusion-based bioprinting	Broad bioink compatibility, printable with multiple viscosities, good biocompatibility, printable with high-cell densities, continuous gradient printing is possible	Low resolution, slow print speed, only suitable for viscous liquids	[70, 175, 178, 179]
Photocuring-based bioprinting	High printing resolution; can construct more complex structures; high printing speed	Toxicity of UV light sources to cells, possible damage to cells with photo-initiators	[147, 178, 180–183]
