3D bioprinting enhances toxicity testing in several ways:
1. Human-Relevant Models: Bioprinted tissues can replicate human organ structures and functions more accurately than animal models or 2D cultures. 2. Complexity and Precision: The technique allows for the creation of complex tissue architectures, including multiple cell types and extracellular matrix components. 3. Ethical Considerations: Reducing the reliance on animal testing aligns with ethical standards and regulatory requirements. 4. High-Throughput Screening: Bioprinted tissues can be used in automated systems for high-throughput toxicity screening, increasing efficiency and reducing costs.
