Artificial Cartilage Generated With 3D Printer

Artificial Cartilage Generated With 3D Printer

Cartilage is an essential body structure that has the consistency of plastic and amazing properties like being able to bear weight, but yet be much more flexible than bone. Unlike bone, it does not contain any blood vessel or nerves, which makes it a prime target for artificial replacements. A team at North Carolina's Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine has developed a way to print a cartilage replacement, using a 3D printer.
