Abstract Biofabrication techniques allow for the construction of biocompatible and biofunctional structures composed from biomaterials, cells biomolecules. Bioprinting is an emerging 3D printing method which utilizes biomaterial-based mixtures with other biological constituents into printable suspensions known as bioinks. Coupled automated design protocols based on different modes droplet deposition, bioprinters are able to fabricate hydrogel-based objects specific architecture geometrical properties, providing necessary environment that promotes cell growth directs differentiation towards application-related lineages. For preparation such bioinks, various water-soluble biomaterials have been employed, including natural synthetic biopolymers, inorganic materials. Bioprinted constructs considered be one most promising avenues in regenerative medicine due their native organ biomimicry. a successful application, bioprinted should meet particular criteria optimal response, mechanical properties similar target tissue, high levels reproducibility fidelity, but also increased upscaling capability. In this review, we highlight recent advances bioprinting, focusing regeneration tissues bone, cartilage, cardiovascular, neural, skin organs liver, kidney, pancreas lungs. We discuss rapidly developing co-culture bioprinting systems used resemble complexity crosstalk between populations regeneration. Moreover, report basic physical principles governing ideal bioink biomaterials’ potential. examine critically present status regarding its applicability current limitations need overcome establish it at forefront artificial production transplantation.
