Abstract:
Tissue engineering has provided wide applications in the field of breast reconstruction for breast cancer patients. A sufficient blood supply is critical to long-term tissue survival, which is also the key to creating large volume tissue-engineered breasts. Compared with traditional three-dimensional(3D) printing, 3D bioprinting uses bioactive bioinks to print tissue or organ structures to bring related biofunctions. It has become a promising developing direction for recreating functional vascular networks in vitro. The article summarized the recent findings of studies on bioprinting in fabricating vascularized tissue-engineered breasts. Moreover, it has highlighted the possible mechanisms of precise bioprinting of vascular networks and angiogenesis.
