Three-dimensional (3D) printing is an additive manufacturing process by which precursor materials are deposited layer by layer to form complex 3D geometries from computer-aided designs, and bioprinting offers the ability to create 3D architecture living cells. Bioprinting methods have been developed rapidly pattern living cells, biological macromolecules, and biomaterials, and an advantage of the 3D microenviroment over traditional 2-dimensional cell culture is the ability to obtain more
