Abstract

Reconstructing the meniscus is not currently possible due to its intricate and heterogeneous structure. In this forum, we first discuss the shortcomings of current clinical strategies in meniscus repair. Then, we describe a new promising cell-based, ink-free 3D biofabrication technology to produce tailor-made large-scale functional menisci.

Keywords: biofabrication; meniscus repair; regenerative medicine; stem cells; tissue engineering.
