TLDR 3D-printed membranes with smart sensors can greatly improve tissue healing and have many medical applications.
The document reviews the development and potential applications of 3D membranes integrated with smart sensors for monitoring and inducing tissue regeneration. It highlights the use of advanced 3D printing technologies and biomaterials to create tissue-like membranes that provide a suitable microenvironment for healing. These membranes can be used in various fields, including disease modeling, organ-on-a-chip, and drug development. The integration of sensors allows for real-time monitoring and feedback, enhancing the effectiveness of tissue regeneration. Despite their promise, challenges such as precision, multi-material printing, and biosafety concerns remain. Future research aims to improve miniaturization, intelligence, and degradability of these sensors for broader clinical applications.
