Abstract

3D bioprinting has shown great promise in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine for creating patient-specific tissue scaffolds and medicinal devices. The quickness, accurate imaging, and design targeting of this emerging technology have excited biomedical engineers and translational medicine researchers. Recently, scaffolds made from 3D bioprinted tissue have become more clinically effective due to nanomaterials and nanotechnology. Because of quantum confinement effects and high surface area/volume ratios, nanomaterials and nanotechnological techniques have unique physical, chemical, and biological features. The use of nanomaterials and 3D bioprinting has led to scaffolds with improved physicochemical and biological properties. Nanotechnology and nanomaterials affect 3D bioprinted tissue engineered scaffolds for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Biomaterials and cells that respond to stimuli change the structural shape in 4D bioprinting. With such dynamic designs, tissue architecture can change morphologically. New 4D bioprinting techniques will aid in bioactuation, biorobotics, and biosensing. The potential of 4D bioprinting in biomedical technologies is also discussed in this article.
