Three dimensional bioprinting is an emerging fabrication technique in the field of tissue
engineering. Extrusion-based bioprinting is one of the widely employed biofabrication
techniques; researchers tend to use it because of its simplicity, affordability and scalability.
During the extrusion-based bioprinting process, cells are subjected to mechanical forces of
different kinds. Among these mechanical forces, shear stress is of a special significance and
concern as it is considered the main cause of cell damage/death. This review covers the …
