Our review paper on the frontiers of 3D bioprinting has been published in Trends in Biotechnology. In this review, Dr. Ouyang defines two bioprinting windows to clarify the trade-offs between physical chemistry and biology and provide a comprehensive overview of recent advances that have pushed the rheological boundaries of bioinks and mechanical boundaries of bioprints, focusing on unusual material properties. Dr. Ouyang illustrates this with recent examples, consolidates the existing strategies into well-defined categories, highlights the prominent trends, and provides perspectives on additional boundaries.
