Cardiac tissue lacks regenerative capacity, making heart transplantation the primary treatment for end-stage heart failure. Engineered cardiac tissues developed through three-dimensional bioprinting (3DBP) offer a promising alternative. However, reproducing the native structure, cellular diversity, and functionality of cardiac tissue requires advanced cardiac bioinks.

- * Current methods of creating vascular structures fail to mimic the body's complex networks adequately and are often too slow for efficient drug testing due to their multi-step processes.
- * This paper introduces a bioprinting technique that builds multiple vascular tissues directly on standard plates, simplifying the process and enhancing reproducibility, which could improve drug discovery efforts.
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting has revolutionized tissue engineering by enabling the fabrication of complex and functional human tissues and organs. An essential component of successful 3D bioprinting is the selection of an appropriate bioink capable of supporting cell proliferation and viability. Plant-derived biomaterials, because of their abundance, biocompatibility, and tunable properties, hold promise as bioink sources, thus offering advantages over animal-derived biomaterials, which carry immunogenic concerns.
