Biofabrication is an evolving research field that has recently received significant attention. In particular, the adoption of Biofabrication concepts within the field of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine has grown tremendously, and has been accompanied by a growing inconsistency in terminology. This article aims at clarifying the position of Biofabrication as a research field with a special focus on its relation to and application for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine. Within this context, we propose a refined working definition of Biofabrication, including Bioprinting and Bioassembly as complementary strategies within Biofabrication.
生物制造是一个不断发展的研究领域，最近受到了广泛关注。特别是，生物制造概念在组织工程和再生医学领域的应用得到了极大的发展，同时术语的使用也变得越来越不一致。本文旨在阐明生物制造作为一个研究领域的地位，特别关注其与组织工程和再生医学的关系和应用。在这一背景下，我们提出了一个经过改进的生物制造工作定义，包括生物打印和生物组装作为生物制造的互补策略。
