- Abstract:
- Abstract: Biological three-dimensional (3D) printing technology provides the possibility to develop retinal prosthesis. Firstly, sodium alginate hydrogel is used to print a scaffold for cells. And then the ganglion and cells were implant to the scaffold with the use of 3D printing technology with a high accuracy. The growth factors were added into the scaffold to induce the growth of cells. The technology allows the morphology and intensity of cells to be controlled. Moreover, using this technology to print retinal cells can realize gradient release. Herein the achievements of 3D printing technology in retinal repair are summarized; the research status are briefly analyzed; and the existing issues are putted forward, in order to provide a reference for the further research on 3D printing technology in retinal repair.
