3D printed constructs for Cartilage and Bone Tissue Engineering Applications

af Akriti Sharma

Cartilage and bone are specialized connective tissues that primarily function as support structures for other adjacent tissues and organs. Both tissues can be characterized by the presence of an abundant extracellular matrix mainly dominated by collagen. Cartilage tissue is found throughout the human body in various types. Three main types of cartilage are elastic cartilage, hyaline cartilage and fibrous cartilage. This study focuses on load-bearing meniscus tissue, a type of fibrous cartilage f... (Læs mere)
