In the past few decades, the field of tissue engineering combined with rapid prototyping (RP)
techniques has been successful in creating biological substitutes that mimic tissues. Its …

In the human body, articular cartilage facilitates the frictionless movement of synovial joints.
However, due to its avascular and aneural nature, it has a limited ability to self-repair when …

3D bioprinting offers interesting opportunities for 3D tissue printing by providing living cells
with appropriate scaffolds with a dedicated structure. Biological advances in bioinks are …

The poor intrinsic healing properties of cartilage result in the frequent development of
osteoarthritis and chronic tissue degeneration following injury. Articular cartilage tissue …

Hyaline cartilage is deficient in self-healing properties. The early treatment of focal cartilage
lesions is a public health challenge to prevent long-term degradation and the occurrence of …

Significant progress has been made in the field of cartilage and bone tissue engineering
over the last two decades. As a result, there is real promise that strategies to regenerate …

Inadequate self-repair and regenerative efficiency of the cartilage tissues has motivated the
researchers to devise advanced and effective strategies to resolve this issue. Introduction of …

Cartilage injuries and bone loss become increasingly prevalent in modern societies.
Articular cartilage and menisci have low or no capacity for self-repair and none of the …

Cartilage repair and replacement is a major challenge in plastic reconstructive surgery. The
development of a process capable of creating a patient-specific cartilage framework would …

Osteoarthritis, a chronic, debilitating, and painful disease, is one of the leading causes of
disability and socioeconomic burden, with an estimated 250 million people affected …
