Bioprinting of organs and tissues is an emerging technique in the field of tissue engineering, presenting as a promising approach in regenerative medicine. Several tissues have been studied in the light of bioprinting, from the poorly regenerative neural tissue to the highly proliferative skin tissue. The very different characteristics of these tissues must be taken into account when trying to bioprint a laboratory made substitute, including mechanical and biological key features for proper tissue regeneration. Furthermore, the different bioprinting techniques currently available, as well as the search for the optimal bioink for each tissue, led to a broad spectrum of studies in this field. Hence, the aim of this review is to describe what has been tested from the beginning of this new approach to current days in terms of bioinks and printing techniques in a wide range of tissues, shedding a light to new studies that might attempt a regenerative approach using bioprinting.
