"Negative Printing for the Reinforcement of In Situ Tissue-Engineered C" by Stephanie E. Doyle, Finn Snow et al.
In the realm of in situ cartilage engineering, the targeted delivery of both cells and hydrogel materials to the site of a defect serves to directly stimulate chondral repair. Although the in situ application of stem cell-laden soft hydrogels to tissue defects holds great promise for cartilage regeneration, a significant challenge lies in overcoming the inherent limitation of these soft hydrogels, which must attain mechanical properties akin to the native tissue to withstand physiological loading. We therefore developed a system where a gelatin methacryloyl hydrogel laden with human adipose-de...
