However, existing technological and biological challenges still require a significant amount of research. The present review highlights these challenges and discusses their potential solu-tions such as mapping and converting a human organ onto a 3D virtual design, synchronizing the virtual design with the printing hardware. Moreover, the paper discusses in details recent advances in formu-lating bio-inks and challenges in tissue construction with or without scaffold. Next, the paper re...
