Combining the advantages of 3D bioprinting technology and biological characteristics of stem cells, bioprinting of stem cells is recognized as a novel technology with broad applications. However, the biological performance and functional reconstruction of stem cells are greatly influenced by both the bioprinting process and post-bioprinting culture conditions, which are critical factors to consider for human tissue reconstruction applications.

This special issue aims to cover the most recent advancements in human tissue reconstruction that are enabled by 3D bioprinting and stem cells. Topics include, but not limited to, the following: bioprinting of stem cells; advanced organoid technologies; 3D bioprinting for human tissue/organ reconstruction; next-generation stem cell technologies; bioink design for stem cell niche; bioink-cell interfaces in printing tissues/organs.
