Cartilage tissue engineering combining microspheroid building blocks and microneedle arrays.

Conclusions: We constructed defined scaffold-free shapes by bioprinting and fusing microspheroids. Proof of concept was shown in the repair of ex vivo osteoarthritic human cartilage and in vivo rabbit osteochondral (OC) defects. PMID: 31134817 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
