Biofabrication investigates how conventional and innovative material fabrication methods (including cellular bioprinting, electrospinning, and 3D printing) can generate scaffolds and designed structures for sophisticated biological models, tissues, and organs, serving both medical and non-medical purposes. The adaptability of biofabrication techniques renders them especially valuable for creating intricate tissues, tissue substitutes, or multi-tissue systems, with diverse uses in fields like tissue engineering and diagnostic testing. Within biomanufacturing, biological systems are harnessed to create commercially or clinically significant products, including biomolecules and biomaterials. Research in biomanufacturing often focuses on developing items for pharmaceutical and food industries, alongside pioneering biologically-inspired approaches for industrial production.
