A mechanically active OsteoChondral Unit (OCU)‐on‐Chip platform mimicking the OCU's functional anatomy and the strain gradient across the osteochondral interface is presented. Upon compartment‐specific hyperphysiological compression, the model replicates mechanisms observed in osteoarthritis (OA) progression, such as calcium crystal accumulation ...

Readily UV‐curing and self‐healing methacrylated collagen peptide (COPMA) hydrogels are developed with tunable mechanical properties. As the interpenetrating network between COPMA and xanthan gum (XG), COPMA‐XG bioinks show improved mechanical properties, printability, and stability, compared to COPMA or XG.
