Personalized Reconstruction with Three-dimensional Printed Urological Tissue Constructs

Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technology has emerged as a cutting-edge tool for the development of precise and reproducible patient-specific, personalized urological tissue constructs. This capability effectively addresses the existing translational limitations of biomanufacturing and offers extensive potential for urological applications. The revolutionary impact of this technology is poised to transform the treatment landscape for various urological conditions. To fully harness the potential of bioprinted tissue constructs in urological tissue engineering applications, it is essential to prioritize thorough investigations, proactively address potential challenges, and establish robust protocols. By addressing these issues, we can instill confidence in the viability and numerous benefits of bioprinting for urology and ultimately pave the way for better patient outcomes and personalized treatments. PATIENT SUMMARY: Three-dimensional (3D) printing using biological materials (bioprinting) is a revolutionary technology for tissue engineering therapies. This review highlights the latest advances in bioprinting of urological tissue constructs and their potential for application in patient-specific treatments.
