Abstract

Biofabrication holds great potential to revolutionize important industries in the health, food, and textile sectors, but its translation to market is still challenging. I analyze the current state of innovation and commercialization in biofabrication and try to assess its limitations, strengths, and future progress.

Keywords: biofabrication; commercialization; innovation; translation.
