Hydrogel-Based 3D Bioprinting Technology for Articular Cartilage Regenerative Engineering
GelsArticular cartilage is an avascular tissue with very limited capacity of self-regeneration. Trauma or injury-related defects, inflammation, or aging in articular cartilage can induce progressive degenerative joint diseases such as osteoarthritis.

Effects of immobilization on articular cartilage: Autohistoradiographic findings with S35 [PDF]
The effect of immobilization on the articular cartilage of rabbits was studied by light microscope. The knee joint of each rabbit was immobilized in a plaster in a position midway between flexion and extension for a 10 to 120 days period.
