Recent advances in 3D-printing-based organ-on-a-chip by Xinkun Wu, Wenwan Shi, Xiaojiang Liu, Zhongze Gu

“…In recent decades, this technology has advanced rapidly because of the development of various three-dimensional (3D) printing techniques. 3D printing can not only fabricate microfluidic chips using materials such as resins and polydimethylsiloxane but also construct biomimetic tissues using bioinks such as cell-loaded hydrogels. In this review, recent advances in 3D-printing-based OOC are systematically summarized based on materials used for direct or indirect 3D printing of OOC, 3D printing techniques for the construction of OOC, and applications of 3D-printing-based OOC in models of the heart, blood vessels, intestines, liver, and kidney. …”
