Success in the 3-D bioprinting of cartilage

A team of researchers has managed to generate cartilage tissue by printing stem cells using a 3-D-bioprinter. The fact that the stem cells survived being printed in this manner is a success in itself. In addition, the research team was able to influence the cells to multiply and differentiate to form chondrocytes (Cartilage cells) in the printed structure. Ref. Source 7r.
