| Sumario: | The study was aimed at the applicability of a bioink based on 4% collagen and chondrocytes for <i>de novo</i> cartilage formation. Extrusion-based bioprinting was used for the biofabrication. The printing parameters were tuned to obtain stable material flow. In vivo data proved the ability of the tested bioink to form a cartilage within five to six weeks after the subcutaneous scaffold implantation. Certain areas of cartilage formation were detected as early as in one week. The resulting cartilage tissue had a distinctive structure with groups of isogenic cells as well as a high content of glycosaminoglycans and type II collagen. |
