Patient-specific meniscus prototype based on 3D bioprinting of human cell-laden scaffold

Abstract

This paper reports the preliminary findings of the production of a custom-made, cell-laden, collagen-based human meniscus. The prototype described could act as the starting point for future developments of this collagen-based, tissue-engineered structure, which could aid the optimization of implants designed to replace damaged menisci.<b>Cite this article</b>: G.
