Advantages, Limitations, and Future Trends for Biofabrication Techniques in Tissue Engineering

Abstract

Biofabrication techniques facilitate tissue engineering by supplyingtools to construct advanced scaffolds for cell population applied to the assemblingof artificial tissues and organs. Tissue engineering involves the in vitro reconstruction of tissue architectures from nano-scale to macro-scale. In the current review, scaffold fabrication techniques will be classified into nano-scale, micro-scale and macro-scale. Methods for and future trendsof biofabrication techniques will be discussed.
