Bioink is a crucial component in 3D bioprinting, enabling the fabrication of complex, functional tissues, and organs. Comprising living cells and biologically active materials—often within a hydrogel matrix—bioinks provide a supportive, biocompatible environment that facilitates cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation. The success of bioprinting relies heavily on the properties of the bioink, including its printability, mechanical strength, and biodegradability. Advances in bioink formulations have enabled the regeneration of various tissues, such as nerves, cartilage, bone, and blood vessels, using materials like alginate, fibrin, and hyaluronic acid derivatives. However, challenges remain in optimizing bioink for clinical applications, particularly in ensuring structural integrity and cellular compatibility.
