In order to progress beyond the state of the art of medical devices and implants, the concept of tissue engineering has moved into the center of biomedical research worldwide. The aim of this approach is not to replace damaged tissue with an implant or device but rather to prompt the patient’s own tissue to enact a regenerative response by using a tissue-engineered construct to assemble new functional and healthy tissue. More recently, it was advocated that the combination of additive biomanufacturing and a translational tissue engineering tool box has the potential to enhance personalized medicine not only from a regenerative medicine perspective yet also to provide frontier technologies for building and transforming the research landscape in the field of in vitro and in vivo disease models.
