One promising strategy to reconstruct osteochondral defects relies on 3D bioprinted three-zonal structures comprised of hyaline cartilage, calcified and subchondral bone. So far, several studies have pursued the regeneration either cartilage or bone in vitro while-despite its key role region-only few them targeted layer. In this work, we present a biomimetic hydrogel scaffold containing β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) for engineering through co-axial needle system implemented extrusion-based...

ABSTRACT Bone tissue regeneration can be affected by various architectonical features of 3D porous scaffold, for example, pore size and shape, strut size, curvature, or porosity. However, the design additively manufactured structures studied so far was based on uniform geometrical figures unit cell structures, which often do not resemble natural architecture cancellous bone. Therefore, aim this study to investigate effect (aka printed) titanium scaffolds designed microtomographic scans...

ABSTRACT The rate of hydrolytic degradation tissue‐engineered scaffolds made from bioresorbable polyesters is dependent on several factors. Some are related to the properties degrading polymeric material, but others geometry porous structure and operating environment. It well known that a given object, or nonporous, lower when it exposed dynamic conditions, flowing medium, than operates in static conditions. most likely reason more efficient removal acidic products vicinity material medium....
