Volume 59, Pages 4636–4648
The repair of cartilage injuries and defects in the knee presents a significant challenge in the field of human joint surgery. A promising solution involves the synergy of three-dimensional printing and articular cartilage tissue engineering. This research primarily focuses on the formulation of composite hydrogels comprising gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA), silk fibroin (SF) and hydroxyapatites (Haps), with a thorough examination of their morphology and mechanical properties. We also conducted tests on stacking height and grid area to assess the 3D printability of GM/SF/Haps inks. To evaluate the suitability of GM/SF/Haps scaffolds in cartilage regeneration, we performed 2D culture with mouse chondrocytes…
