Abstract
BOLGIANI, Alberto and HERMIDA, Elida. 3D skin bioprinting. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2020, vol.46, suppl.1, pp.85-90. Epub June 22, 2020. ISSN 1989-2055. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0376-78922020000200014.
3D printing is a process that converts 3D graphics dimensional objects similarly 2D printing on paper. 3D is printed on a piece of skin of different types of cultured human cells in vitro using a 3D printer that biological ink are composed of living cells in suspension in a liquid and made into a cartridge; it is expelled by a laser. This substance contains different types of cells: fibroblasts, keratinocytes and melanocytes which constitute the epidermis.
3D printing skin facilitates manufacture of a more complex model incorporating secondary human skin and anexal structures to achieve a breakthrough in our understanding of human skin as an organ, allowing the graft engineering in treatment of various skin diseases and burn patients.
