TL;DR: This review highlights important advances in heterogeneous bioinks and bioprinting technologies to fabricate biomimetic tissue constructs and opportunities to further accelerate this research area are described.

TL;DR: Gut-on-a-chip models have the potential to advance the understanding of the basic interactions found within the gut and lay the foundation for future applications in understanding pathophysiology, developing drugs, and personalizing medical treatments.

TL;DR: 3D bioprinting was used to fabricate tissue constructs using gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)-alginate bioinks and metabolic activity of cells in GelMA bioinks was improved by addition of oxygen-generating particles to the bioinks.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize recent progress made in these areas and compare various applications and their performance metrics, and discuss critical problems with the use of natural rubber latex in biomedical applications and highlight future opportunities for biomedical devices produced either with pre-treated natural rubber rubber latex or with proteins purified from the natural Rubber latex.
