BIOPRINTING THE FUTURE: THE ROLE, TECHNIQUES AND APPLICATIONS OF 3D BIOPRINTING IN CARDIAC TISSUE ENGINEERING

Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, driving the urgent need for innovative therapeutic strategies.Among emerging technologies, 3D bioprinting has revolutionized cardiac tissue engineering by enabling the fabrication of biomimetic heart tissues with precise spatial organization, cellular composition, and vascularization.This technology leverages bioinks composed of living cells, biomaterials, and signaling factors to construct functional cardiac tissues that closely replicate native myocardium.Recent advances in biomaterials, bioprinting techniques, and stem cell applications have improved tissue viability, mechanical properties, and electrical conductivity are crucial factors for heart tissue regeneration.
