Abstract: The present invention is directed to a specialized 3D printing technology used in the creation of living tissues and organs. The technology utilizes a unique bioink that consists of living cells and a supportive matrix material. The specialized 3D printing technology is capable of depositing multiple layers of the bioink in a precise and controlled manner to create 3D structures that mimic the architecture of native tissues and organs. The resulting living tissues and organs have the potential to be used for medical research, drug discovery, and ultimately transplantation. The technology provides a cost-effective and scalable solution for the creation of living tissues and organs that has the potential to revolutionize the field of regenerative medicine.
