This review explores cell printing techniques for tissue engineering, focusing on jet-based methods like laser guidance direct write (LG DW) and electrohydrodynamic jetting (EHDJ) to create 3-D scaffolds. These technologies show promise for large-scale tissue manufacturing.

Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Tissue Engineering
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Cell printing offers a novel approach to constructing heterogeneous 3-D scaffolds for tissue engineering.
  • Recent advancements enable cell-by-cell deposition of living eukaryotic cells.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review state-of-the-art jet-based cell printing techniques.
  • To summarize published results on cell viability, genotype, and phenotype retention.
  • To compare and contrast different jetting processes and their suitability for tissue manufacturing.

Main Methods:

  • Focuses on four categories of jet-based cell printing: Laser Guidance Direct Write (LG DW), modified Laser-Induced Forward Transfer (LIFT), modified inkjet printers, and Electrohydrodynamic Jetting (EHDJ).
  • Analyzes the physical processes, forces, and stresses on cells during printing.
