Need some sleep now but just to note that so called tissue printing is not simply the deposition of cells resulting in the creation of a product. It is essentially a method of ensuring spatial distribution of cell culture onto a scaffold; essentially it's one out of maaaaaany steps. Funnily enough this is the second time this has come up to day, at the lab today we were talking about how bioprinting has become the latest term to be misused in an attempt to get citations and investment by misrepresenting the technology.
