Publication Title:
Towards Bioinspired Meniscus-Regenerative Scaffolds: Engineering a Novel 3D Bioprinted Patient-Specific Construct Reinforced by Biomimetically Aligned Nanofibers
Advanced BioMatrix Products Used:
Lifeink® 200 35 mg/ml type I Collagen Bioink
How the products were used:
Lifeink 200 was reinforced with polycaprolactone and carbon nanotubes to 3D bioprint a patient specific meniscus. Mesenchymal stem cells remained viable even after 7 days of culture within the scaffold.
Article Conclusion:
Overall, these findings evidence that this bioengineering approach (additive manufacturing of Lifeink 200 mixed with polycaprolactone and carbon nanotubes) offers a promising strategy for fabricating biomimetic meniscus scaffolds for tissue engineering.
