3D cell-printing of biocompatible and functional meniscus constructs using meniscus-derived bioink.

abstract：:Current advances in stem cell biology have brought much hope for therapy of neuro-degenerative diseases. However, neural stem cells (NSCs) are rare adult stem cells, and the use of non-NSCs requires efficient and high-yielding lineage-specific differentiation prior to transplantation for efficacy. We report on the eff...
