TL;DR: The authors used a synthetic nanosilicate clay, called Laponite, to build up scaffolds utilising the extrusion-based method 3D plotting, achieving scaffolds with high printing fidelity.

TL;DR: 3D extrusion bioprinting, an additive manufacturing method which enables the fabrication of 3D structures with a precise geometry to produce macroporous hydrogel constructs with embedded islets, is combined with islet encapsulation to protect transplanted islets from the immune system.

TL;DR: This minireview highlights the multiple applications of the polysaccharide methylcellulose (mc) as supportive biomaterial that can be utilized in various ways to enable biofabrication and especially extrusion-based bioprinting of bioinks.

TL;DR: Information is provided for the development of a clinically appropriate 3D-printing-based fabrication process to produce bioengineered tissue for cartilage regeneration and UV-irradiation and autoclaving are determined as the best candidates for sterilisation.

TL;DR: Retarded release by alginate‐based (1 vol%) depots, significantly improves sprouting‐depth and morphology of tubular structures and has great potential for clinical translation.
