3D Bioprinting Research Could Result in Replacement Cartilage for Curing Arthritis
“One out of ten people will suffer from arthritis in their lifetime. Arthritis is caused by the breakdown of the cartilage tissue in a person’s joints. This breakdown leads to swelling, stiffness, discomfort, and pain. Increasingly, researchers have been looking into https://3dprint.com/139949/3d-bioprinting-osteoarthritis/ to https://3dprint.com/214377/nanochon-3d-printed-implants/ using patients’ own stem cells in order to get a damaged joint to heal itself, which would effectively end arthritis.
As part of the https://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/197262_en.html, funded by the European Commission’s https://3dprint.com/tag/horizon-2020/ framework, Professor Jos Malda with the https://www.umcutrecht.nl/en/1 in the Netherlands and his team are developing bioprinted tissues that can replace a damaged part once implanted into a living joint. These bioprinted replacement tissues will eventually mature into a match for the original, healthy cartilage…”
