Moreover, this technology has enabled the combination of multiple drugs in a single formulation addressing key issues of medication burden. Development of 3D printing in pharmacy applications and large-scale pharmaceutical manufacturing has substantially increased in recent years. This review focuses on the emergence of extrusion-based 3D printing, particularly semi solid extrusion, fused deposition modelling and direct powder extrusion, which are currently the most commonly studied for pharmacy practice. The concept of each technique is summarised, with examples of current and potential applications. Next, recent advancements in the 3D printer market and pharmacist perceptions are discussed.

Recent work has shown that extrusion-based printing using collagenous inks yield 3D scaffolds with high geometric precision and print fidelity. However, these scaffolds lack collagen anisotropy. In this study, extrusion-based 3D printing was combined with a magnetic alignment approach in an innovative 4D printing scheme to generate 3D collagen scaffolds with high degree of collagen anisotropy. Specifically, the 4D printing process parameters-collagen (Col):xanthan gum (XG) ratio (Col:XG; 1:1, 4:1, 9:1 v/v), streptavidin-coated magnetic particle concentration (SMP; 0, 0.2, 0.4 mg ml<sup>-1</sup>), and print flow speed (2, 3 mm s<sup>-1</sup>)-were modulated and the effects of these parameters on rheological properties, print fidelity, and collagen alignment were assessed. Further, the effects of collagen anisotropy on human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) morphology, orientation, metabolic activity, and ligamentous differentiation were investigated. Results showed that increasing the XG composition (Col:XG 1:1) enhanced ink viscosity and yielded scaffolds with good print fidelity but poor collagen alignment. On the other hand, use of inks with lower XG composition (Col:XG 4:1 and 9:1) together with 0.4 mg ml<sup>-1</sup>SMP concentration yielded scaffolds with high degree of collagen alignment albeit with suboptimal print fidelity. Modulating the print flow speed conditions (2 mm s<sup>-1</sup>) with 4:1 Col:XG inks and 0.4 mg ml<sup>-1</sup>SMP resulted in improved print fidelity of the collagen scaffolds while retaining high level of collagen anisotropy. Cell studies revealed hMSCs orient uniformly on aligned collagen scaffolds. More importantly, collagen anisotropy was found to trigger tendon or ligament-like differentiation of hMSCs.

Recently, human brain organoids have emerged as a promising alternative to assess the detrimental effects of chemicals on the developing brain.
