Drug Delivery Applications of Three-Dimensional Printed (3DP) Mesoporous Scaffolds. Pharmaceutics. 2020 Sep 8;12(9):851.

In this review we highlighted how 3D printing techniques allow the production of CAD designing structures that fully correspond to the request of each patient in response to  needs following trauma or pathologies. The future implementation of new biodegradable biopolymers and of multi-step etching processes for post-printing functionalization/modification, will also allow more efficient drug delivery application of scaffolds as the 3D EBM produced ones, by conferring them the not-yet optimized  degree of mesoporosity.
