Abstract

With recent developments in material sciences, biology, and 3D printing technology, regenerative biomedicine and tissue engineering are in a new stage of development. 3D printing, as an innovative biofabrication methodology, produces complex geometries of patient-specific scaffolds for the acceleration of tissue regeneration. In comparison with conventional manufacturing equipment, 3D printing has many advantages, such as flexibility, fast method, saving time, economical, and less waste on processes and materials. The 3D printing technology has opened up innovative and rapidly growing opportunities in the regenerative biomedicine sector. Hyaluronic acid-based hydrogels have been broadly employed for numerous clinical utilizations owing to the great structural and biological features of this biopolymer such as biodegradability, native biofunctionality, having available multiple sites, facile modification, and being an intracellular constituent of connective tissues. Considering these tips, in this chapter, the latest achievements in regenerative biomedicine using 3D-printed hyaluronic acid hydrogels are expressed.
