3D bioprinting is currently widely used to build engineered mammalian tissue constructs with complex spatial structures. It has revolutionized tissue engineering and is a promising avenue for regenerative medicine. Recently, 3D bioprinting has also been used for the fabrication of living tissues that cultivate microorganisms including photosynthetic single-celled microalgae and bacterial cells. Here we review the principles and applications of biomimetic 3D living materials powered by microorganisms.
