3D bioprinting via an in situ crosslinking technique towards engineering cartilage tissue

Abstract 3D bioprinting is a promising approach for the repair of cartilage tissue after damage due to injury or disease; however, the design of 3D printed scaffolds has been limited by the availability of bioinks with requisite printability, cytocompatibility, and bioactivity. To address this, we d...
