3D printing, or solid freeform fabrication, applied to regenerative medicine brings technologies from several industries together to help solve unique challenges in both basic science and tissue engineering. By more finely organizing cells and supporting structures precisely in 3D space, we will gain critical knowledge of cell-cell communications and cell-environment interactions. As we increase the scale, we will move toward complex tissue and organ structures where several cell phenotypes will functionally and structurally interact, thus recapitulating the form and function of native tissues and organs.
3D打印，即实体自由成型制造，应用于再生医学，将多个行业的技术融合在一起，以帮助解决基础科学和组织工程中的独特挑战。通过在三维空间中更精确地组织细胞和支撑结构，我们将获得有关细胞间通讯和细胞与环境相互作用的关键知识。随着规模的扩大，我们将朝着复杂的组织和器官结构发展，其中几种细胞表型将在功能和结构上相互作用，从而重现天然组织和器官的形态和功能。
