Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting has emerged as a transformative technology in tissue engineering, providing innovative platforms for drug testing and disease modeling. This manuscript explores the current state-of-the-art in 3D bioprinting of tissues, outlines the underlying principles and techniques, and reviews key advancements up to 2021. It further presents a statistical analysis based on compiled experimental data from various studies, followed by a detailed methodology and experimental results. The findings highlight the potential of 3D bioprinted tissues to mimic physiological environments more accurately than traditional two-dimensional models, thereby improving the predictive power of drug efficacy and toxicity assays as well as enhancing our understanding of disease progression. The work concludes with discussions on the challenges faced, current limitations, and future prospects for the technology.
