Current bioprinters originate from various standard 3D printers that are designed to print non-living materials. However, bioprinters are meant for printing living tissues and organs. The more they look alike, the harder the printing of living tissues and organs. On the contrary, perhaps the more distinct in capabilities beyond 3D printing the closer to biological pathways to tissues and organs. Therefore, advanced bioprinting techniques should look different from standard 3D printers with novel capabilities to deal with biological challenges. From nozzle design to new principle, from process integration to post-treatment, there are vast possibilities. This column aims to collect the on-going research focuses on bioprinting technique innovation and the current thinking of future bioprinters.
