Prospects of the Artificial Organs Structures 3D Printing Technology

Abstract

Transplantation technologies are now highly effective modern methods of medical care for patients with irreversible stage of chronic diseases of vital organs. The success of transplantology allowed to start solving the problems of improving the quality of patients’ life who live with transplanted organ, their adaptation to society, return to work, to authentic family relationships. The aim of the study is to perform analysis of modern literary sources related to the prospects of application of artificial organs structures bioprinting 3D technology.The shortage of donor organs for transplantation, the high cost of traditional transplantation and the problem of immunocompatibility of donor tissues led to the search for alternative, cost-effective and efficient organ replacement technologies. There are different methods of making 3D structures, each of which has its advantages and disadvantages. The technology is selected depending on the properties of the material, the desired characteristics of the finished structure and its application. To date, bioprinters are able to print bone and cartilage implants quickly enough. Thus, 3D bioprinting is now becoming a real breakthrough in regenerative medicine. Every day there are more and more different techniques to improve this technology.
