Abstract

3D Bioprinting is fast advancing to offer capabilities to process living cells into geometrically and functionally complex tissue and organ substitutes. As bioprinted constructs are making their way into clinic, the bioprinting community needs to consider the responsible innovation and translation of the bioprinted tissues and organs.

Keywords: bioprinting; clinical translation; ethics; organ; tissue.
