MoS2 is a substance, highly valued for its two-dimensional nanostructure and diverse physical and chemical properties. This review examines the advancements achieved in biomedical applications through the integration of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), and the state-of-the-art area of 3D printing technology. It initially outlines MoS2 synthesis routes and techniques to tailor its properties. The review explores how MoS2 properties underpin its biological significance, thereby facilitating its therapeutic, tissue engineering, and biosensing applications. Emphasis is placed on the emerging area of 3D printing, assessing its potential when combined with MoS2 to produce customized materials for biomedical purposes. Strategies to create foam topologies and electrocatalytically active filaments in 3D-printed constructs are explained. The enhanced mechanical strength, conductivity, and therapeutic efficacy observed in 3D-printed MoS2 structures foreshadow new developments in healthcare, including the advent of biocompatible implants for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Further results show how innovations have been made in biosensing areas leveraging MoS2 3D printing. These insights, grounded in scientific research, medical practices, and technological advancements, position MoS2 as a flexible and innovative material with diverse applications across various biomedical sectors.
