Abstract
3D bioprinting is a process that builds biological structures layer-by-layer, placing cells, biomaterials, and biochemical components to create functional, three-dimensional tissues. This technology has been used for drug testing, tissue creation, disease modeling, and is working on creating organs. By applying 3D bioprinting to cancer research, more accurate tumor models will be able to be produced through testing them with artificial organs, helping address challenges originally associated with understanding and treating these malignancies. Demonstrating how 3D bioprinting works through a simulation, we can show others how supporting organizations that research this technology can drastically accelerate the progress toward improved cancer treatment and cures. Presentations such as Google Slides can serve as an effective teaching method in order to educate others about these advancements.
