REPLAY | From Lab to Clinic: Overcoming Extrusion Bioprinting Challenges in Cartilage Research

Severe osteochondral lesions are difficult to treat and can lead to the onset of osteoarthritis. To address this challenge, the field of osteochondral tissue engineering aims to develop biologically relevant tissue analogs which mimic the natural tissue and are able to repair the damaged bone and cartilage tissue. In this webinar, Prof. Bloemen will explain her team’s strategy to develop such an implant and will focus on the fabrication and evaluation of GelMA-based implants to repair damaged articular cartilage covering the bone in the knee joints. At the end of her talk, she will highlight a few challenges and opportunities on how this study can be used as a basis for extrusion-based bioprinting using clinically oriented biomaterial inks. What can be key in this respect is taking into account the right standardization already at the early stage of research, in terms of material selection, bio ink production and 3D bioprinting technology.
