Cartilage 3D Printing

摘要: Cartilage is a tissue designed to provide near frictionless joint movement while withstanding load during locomotion. Clinically relevant repair or regeneration of damaged degenerated cartilage remains challenge. Recapitulation the matrix structure and cellular organization in tissues key generating long-term functional tissue. 3D bioprinting promising technique that can address many challenges facing successful engineering articular cartilage. This chapter introduces function cartilage, provides brief overview injury degeneration, lists cell-based repair. The state-of-the-art technologies discussed with focus on printing recent advances concept direct situ printing. Finally, using this technology are presented, as well perspective future for regenerative medicine.
