Advances in Nanocellulose‐Based Bioinks and Scaffolds: Emerging Frontiers in 3D Bioprinting for Biomedical Applications

Nanocellulose has gained widespread recognition over the past few years as an advanced material for biomedical applications through 3D printing. The most cutting‐edge 3D printing technologies utilize nanocellulose, placing it at the forefront of biomedical engineering. This review examines advancements in nanocellulose bioinks and scaffolds, as well as their applications in tissue engineering, wound healing, and drug delivery systems. It also explores new approaches to material use and crosslinking procedures. Additionally, innovations in bioprinting are discussed to show how nanocellulose can support high‐resolution, biocompatible structures that remain mechanically strong. Analyzing how the rheological properties of nanocellulose affect the fidelity of 3D printing highlights the advantages of current technology. The article also addresses scaling concerns, regulatory challenges, and the need for efficient in vivo testing, while investigating future breakthroughs in multimaterial bioinks and tailored regenerative implants. Ultimately, this review covers the current state of nanocellulose‐based bioprinting technology and offers insights into its future role in biomedical progress.

Abstract

Nanocellulose has gained widespread recognition over the past few years as an advanced material for biomedical applications through 3D printing. The most cutting‐edge 3D printing technologies utilize nanocellulose, placing it at the forefront of biomedical engineering. This review examines advancements in nanocellulose bioinks and scaffolds, as well as their applications in tissue engineering, wound healing, and drug delivery systems. It also explores new approaches to material use and crosslinking procedures. Additionally, innovations in bioprinting are discussed to show how nanocellulose can support high‐resolution, biocompatible structures that remain mechanically strong. Analyzing how the rheological properties of nanocellulose affect the fidelity of 3D printing highlights the advantages of current technology. The article also addresses scaling concerns, regulatory challenges, and the need for efficient in vivo testing, while investigating future breakthroughs in multimaterial bioinks and tailored regenerative implants. Ultimately, this review covers the current state of nanocellulose‐based bioprinting technology and offers insights into its future role in biomedical progress.
