3D BIOPRINTING, cilt.65, sa.3, ss.441-466, 2021 (SCI-Expanded)
Existing methods of engineering alternatives to restore or replace damaged or lost tissues are not satisfactory due to the lack of suitable constructs that can fit precisely, function properly and integrate into host tissues. Recently, three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting approaches have been developed to enable the fabrication of pre-programmed synthetic tissue constructs that have precise geometries and controlled cellular composition and spatial distribution. New bioinks with electroconductive properties have the potential to influence cellular fates and function for directed healing of different tissue types including bone, heart and nervous tissue with the possibility of improved outcomes. In the present paper, we review the use of electroconductive biomaterials for the engineering of tissues via 3D printing and 3D bioprinting. Despite significant advances, there remain challenges to effective tissue replacement and we address these challenges and describe new approaches to advanced tissue engineering.
