Abstract: Extracellular matrix (ECM) is a non-cellular scaffold that surrounding cells to serve the various cell behaviorsincluding differentiation and migration. ECM is one of the promising biomaterial to be applied in various fields: tissue reconstruction, clinical application, and drug delivery system. While the ECM has been studied for more than 50 years, the material has not been fully verified for industrialization. By converging with three-dimensional (3D) printing technology,ECM can be ranked first favorable biomaterials in the regenerative medicine and commercialization of bio-printed ECM will be accelerated. Moreover, convergence of 3D printing and nano technology has brought up a new concept, biomimetic 3D structures. This even allowed 3D printing the ECM into a cactus structure of artificial bone, by controlling elastic modulus and porosity
