Articular cartilage is critical for knee joint motion as a connective tissue to disperse loads
and resist high-stress loadings. However, due to the lack of vascular, neural, and lymphatic …

Growth factors play a crucial role in tissue engineering by directing the fate of cells and
allowing the formation of tissues. Understanding the key requirements for growth factor …

Large bone defects resulting from fractures and disease are a major clinical challenge,
being often unable to heal spontaneously by the body's repair mechanisms. Lines of …

Supramolecular hydrogels confer control over structural properties in a reversible, dynamic,
and biomimetic fashion. The design of supramolecular hydrogels with an improved structural …

One of the challenges of bioprinting is to identify bioinks which support cell growth, tissue
maturation, and ultimately the formation of functional grafts for use in regenerative medicine …

Articular cartilage is a load-bearing tissue that lines the surface of bones in diarthrodial
joints. Unfortunately, this avascular tissue has a limited capacity for intrinsic repair …

Bioprinting is an emerging technology in the field of tissue engineering as it allows the
precise positioning of biologically relevant materials in 3D, which more resembles the native …

Layer-by-layer bioprinting is a logical choice for the fabrication of stratified tissues like
articular cartilage. Printing of viable organ replacements, however, is dependent on bioinks …

Cartilage damage is still a threat to human beings, yet there is currently no treatment
available to fully restore the function of cartilage. Recently, due to their unique structures and …

There are many studies on specific macromolecules and their contributions to tissue repair.
Macromolecules have supporting and protective effects in organisms and can help regrow …
