| description | In its highly developed form, the evolving three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technology aims to create 3D structures with living cells to mimic real tissue and organ functions. It would offer significant benefits across research, personalized medicine, and multiple other applications when adequately developed for human medicine. Presently, more technological activities are witnessed in North America, followed by Europe, Asia Pacific countries, Israel among the Middle East countries, and some South American countries. Around 75 commercial companies are active in 3D bioprinting, with only about a dozen making significant commercial progress. This number is expected to rise phenomenally as breakthroughs in manufacturing and the safe use of 3D bioprinted tissues and organs emerge. Legal frameworks for 3D bioprinting will likely be established, incorporating additions to existing drug laws once countries like the United States of America authorize using 3D bioprinted products in personalized medicine. The demand for 3D bioprinting products is rising based on expectations of future benefits. Therefore, intense research and development activities are ongoing, resulting in demands for the supply of research materials. The legal framework still needs to be put in place for the commercial use of 3D bioprinted tissues and organs in personalized medicine; therefore, laws are to be created for their safe use. This review provides a flavor of the evolution of 3D bioprinting startup companies globally using these technologies. |
