Description

Regenerative medicine allowing the culture of viable tissues and organs relies on 3D bio-printing of a biomimicking hydrogel to support the cultured cells, and the creation of pores and vasculature within the gel construct [1]. However, high costs and the complexity of the technology used have prevented its adoption in Pakistan. Comparatively, plastic 3D printing is more easily available, highlighting it as a potential alternative.
