SLAS Technology Provides Insight into the Future of Bioprinting

The SLAS Technology special issue, Bioprinting the Future, examines the transformative potential of bioprinting in medicine.

Oak Brook, IL (June 29, 2023) – Ideas that were once inconceivable, such as generating human tissue for organ transplants, are quickly becoming a reality as bioprinting technology is rapidly advancing. The June special issue of SLAS Technology showcases the latest developments in the field of biotechnology with its collection of seven research articles.

“With the continuous development of novel materials, fabrication techniques and bio-ink compositions, bioprinting is poised to revolutionize many aspects of medicine, from drug development to organ transplantation,” says SLAS Technology Editor-in-Chief Edward Kai-Hua Chow, Ph.D. (National University of Singapore). “By highlighting these areas of research, the special issue provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of bioprinting and sets the stage for future advances in the field.”

The special issue collection contains topics pertaining to light in bioprinting, 4D printing in cancer therapy, tissue engineering advances and 3D bioprinting.

Read the seven bioprinting articles available in Volume 28, Issue 3 of SLAS Technology:

• Additive manufacturing of peripheral nerve conduits – Fabrication methods, design considerations and clinical challenges
• Recent progress of 4D printing in cancer therapeutics studies
• Bioprinting the future using light: A review on photocrosslinking reactions, photoreactive groups, and photoinitiators
• Advances in tissue engineering of cancer microenvironment from three-dimensional culture to three-dimensional printing
• Biomimetic scaffolds using triply periodic minimal surface-based porous structures for biomedical applications
• Carboxymethyl cellulose-agarose-gelatin: A thermoresponsive triad bioink composition to fabricate volumetric soft tissue constructs
• Salivary gland regeneration: from salivary gland stem cells to three-dimensional bioprinting
