Introduction:
Critical-sized bone defects can result from trauma, inflammation, and tumor resection. Such bone defects, often have irregular shapes, resulting in the need for new technologies to produce suitable implants. Bioprinting is an additive manufacturing method to create complex and individualized bone constructs, which can already include vital cells.
In this study, we present...
While both, regenerative medicine and tissue engineering shift from 2D based models towards 3D models, problems related to imaging of those difficult constructs became more relevant than ever. One of the most attractive technics used by the aforementioned fields is 3D bioprinting based on hydrogel scaffolds. Unfortunately, due to the complexity of the growth kinetic of cells in the printed...
INTRODUCTION
The meniscus is vital for biomechanical and anatomical purposes in the knee, which is frequently injured. Among the diverse biomaterials used for 3D-bioprinting in meniscus regeneration research, silk fibroin (SF) derived from mulberry Bombyx mori (BM) silkworm is extensively studied. Its main drawbacks are the challenge to print it without another material and its lack of the...
