While bioprinting brings new possibilities to other research fields, many reciprocally return new opportunities to bioprinting. The term “X technology” refers to any technology of other fields that can be combined with or applied to bioprinting to advance the interdisciplinary science, potentially transforming or revolutionizing bioprinting. Common examples of X technology are nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, microfluidics, 4D printing, etc. The birth of bioprinting is due to the cross of 3D printing and tissue engineering. Another cross or a few more crosses may be necessary to eventually printing human organs. Therefore, this column aims to collect the on-going research focuses on new technologies and the current thinking of future bioprinting.
