Analysis of the knowledge landscape of three-dimensional bioprinting in Latin America
Journal Title: International Journal of Bioprinting - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Bioprinting, the printing of living cells using polymeric matrixes (mainly hydrogels), has attracted great attention among science and technology circles. North America has been one of the sources of bioprinting-related technology in recent years. As a natural consequence of geography, high-quality research in the area of bioprinting has started to permeate Latin America. Here, we describe and analyze the knowledge landscape of bioprinting in Latin America using a competitive technology intelligence methodology. Our analysis provides relevant information, such as the scientific publication trends in Latin America and the scientific networks among research groups in Latin America and the world.

An nMgO containing scaffold: Antibacterial activity, degradation properties and cell responses
Bone repair failure caused by implant-related infections is a common and troublesome problem. In this study, an antibacterial scaffold was developed via selective laser sintering with incorporating nano magnesium oxide (...
Digital Light Processing Based Three-dimensional Printing for Medical Applications
An additive manufacturing technology based on projection light, digital light processing (DLP), three-dimensional (3D) printing, has been widely applied in the field of medical products production and development. The pr...
Directed self-assembly software for single cell deposition
Laser direct-write (LDW) bioprinting methods offer a diverse set of tools to design experiments, fabricate tissue constructs and to cellular microenvironments all in a CAD/CAM manner. To date, we have just scratched the...
Concentric bioprinting of alginate-based tubular constructs using multi-nozzle extrusion-based technique
Bioprinting is a layer-by-layer additive fabrication technique for making three-dimensional (3D) tissue and organ constructs using biological products. The capability to fabricate 3D tubular structure in free-form or ver...
Bioprinting of artificial blood vessels
Vascular networks have an important role to play in transporting nutrients, oxygen, metabolic wastes and maintenance of homeostasis. Bioprinting is a promising technology as it is able to fabricate complex, specific mult...
