3D Bioprinting! Cellular Capsule Delivery Strategy for Cartilage Defect Repair

Tissue engineering and 3D printing of biological inks provide new ideas for tissue regeneration. However, current biological inks face issues such as limited functionality and insufficient compatibility, making it difficult to meet the challenges of defect repair in pathological microenvironments. Developing drug delivery biological inks may allow for targeted treatment in different pathological microenvironments, but … Read more

3D Bioprinting of Complex Biological Structures with Tunable Properties

3D Bioprinting of Complex Biological Structures with Tunable Properties

Abstract This research paper focuses on the use of the Freeform Reversible Embedding of Suspended Hydrogels (FRESH) printing method to fabricate complex structures with tunable elastic modulus and porosity. Currently, three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting has been widely used to construct hard tissues such as bone and cartilage. However, constructing soft tissues with complex structures remains a … Read more
