BIOPRINTING OF ORGANS AND TISSUES FOR INFECTIOUS DISEASE TESTING: THE FUTURE OF MEDICINE
Abstract
The article discusses a promising technology of bioprinting of organs and tissues, which opens up new horizons in infectious disease testing. Given the growing need for effective methods for studying pathogens, bioprinting offers innovative solutions, allowing the creation of human tissue models to study their response to various infectious agents.
We analyze current advances in bioprinting, including methods and materials, and discuss their application in medical research. Particular attention is paid to examples of using bioprinted models to study infections such as HIV and COVID-19.
The article also touches on existing issues such as technical and ethical challenges, as well as standardization and regulation issues. The conclusion discusses future directions of the technology, its potential for creating new vaccines and therapies, and the possibilities for integration with other scientific approaches.
Thus, bioprinting of organs and tissues not only transforms the methods of infectious disease research, but also plays a key role in the development of medicine, opening the way to more effective and personalized solutions in the fight against infections.
