Abstract
Reproductive failure due to age, genetics and disease necessitates innovative solutions. While reproductive tissue transplantation has advanced, ongoing research seeks superior approaches. Biomaterials, bioengineering and additive manufacturing, such as three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting, are harnessed to restore reproductive function. 3D bioprinting uses materials, cells and growth factors to mimic natural tissues, proving popular for tissue engineering, notably in complex scaffold creation with cell distribution. The versatility which is brought to reproductive medicine by 3D bioprinting allows more accurate and on-site applicability to various problems that are encountered in the field. However, in the literature, there is a lack of studies encompassing the valuable applications of 3D bioprinting in reproductive medicine. This systematic review aims to improve understanding, and focuses on applications in several branches of reproductive medicine. Advancements span the restoration of ovarian function, endometrial regeneration, vaginal reconstruction, and male germ cell bioengineering. 3D bioprinting holds untapped potential in reproductive medicine.
期刊介绍：
Reproductive BioMedicine Online covers the formation, growth and differentiation of the human embryo. It is intended to bring to public attention new research on biological and clinical research on human reproduction and the human embryo including relevant studies on animals. It is published by a group of scientists and clinicians working in these fields of study. Its audience comprises researchers, clinicians, practitioners, academics and patients.
Context:
The period of human embryonic growth covered is between the formation of the primordial germ cells in the fetus until mid-pregnancy. High quality research on lower animals is included if it helps to clarify the human situation. Studies progressing to birth and later are published if they have a direct bearing on events in the earlier stages of pregnancy.
