| Popis: | Three-dimensional (3D) cardiac tissue bioprinting occupies a critical crossroads position between the fields of materials engineering, cardiovascular biology, 3D printing, and rational organ replacement design. This complex area of research therefore requires expertise from all those disciplines and it poses some unique considerations that must be accounted for. One of the chief hurdles is that there is a relatively limited systematic organization of the physical and chemical characteristics of bioinks that would make them applicable to cardiac bioprinting. This is of great significance, as heart tissue is functionally complex and the in vivo extracellular niche is under stringent controls with little room for variability before a cardiomyopathy manifests. This review explores the critical parameters that are necessary for biologically relevant bioinks to successfully be leveraged for functional cardiac tissue engineering, which can have applications in in vitro heart tissue models, cardiotoxicity studies, and implantable constructs that can be used to treat a range of cardiomyopathies, or in regenerative medicine. |
