Penn State Researchers Develop New Bioprinting Method for Joints

Researchers at Penn State University are developing a new method of bioprinting that could eventually be used to create cartilage patches for worn out joints - a potential cure for osteoarthritis. Unlike other forms of bioprinting, the new method does not require a hydrogel scaffolding, instead relying on strands of cartilage that are grown from cells and then used as, essentially, living filament. While it's still in the early stages, the method looks very promising. Read more at 3DPrint.com: https://3dprint.com/139949/3d-biopri...steoarthritis/
