2. Problem Organ transplantation limitation Shortage of donated organs
Damaged organs from
Disease
Injury
Trauma
Treatments to
facilitate their repair, replacement or regeneration.
Organ transplantation limitation
Shortage of donated organs
Transplant rejection
Current solution : Organ transplantation

5. 3D bioprinting news Material for bioprinting? Hydrogel as bioink
Material for bioprinting?
Hydrogel as bioink
-Biocompatibility
-Cell encapsulation
Limitation of hydrogel as bioink
-Low printability
-Shape fidelity

6. Benefit Possible applications
