| Summary: | 3D bioprinting has shown great promise in the field of tissue engineering, which offers a vital and significant platform for organ regeneration. Therefore, an increasing focus on 3D bioprinting, coupled with a growing knowledge of cell–cell interaction and cell encapsulation, has driven researchers to discover the preferable biomaterials that enable the greatest possible to reconstruct artificial organs with the different cells and hydrogel. One important challenge is to adapt materials selected to improve the cell survival rate. In this paper, we firstly summarise the fundamentals and the latest application of biomaterials that have significant characteristics such as porous, biodegradability, biological compatibility, and adaptability, and further describe formation mechanisms of droplet under the different cell encapsulation technologies, and finally highlight integration application of cell encapsulation and 3D bioprinting. |
