Bioprinting has been widely used for rapid fabrication of biomimetic tissues and organs with the goal of closely mimicking biological structures and their functionalities. Photocrosslinking has emerged as a promising strategy to address several challenges in bioprinting since light is minimally invasive and, by spatiotemporally controlling the application of light, it is possible to crosslink a photosensitive cell-laden bioink locally and on demand to encapsulate cells without significantly reducing cell viability. There have been several approaches to photocrosslinking-based bioprinting. Here, we examine various photocrosslinking schemes in order to guide future innovation in this domain, which will ultimately lead to a range of biomedical applications including generating organs for transplantation, creating tissues for pharmaceutical research, and developing disease models.
