“Layer-by-layer bioprinting of artificial tissues like cartilage, which has a stratified structure, is a logical choice, say the researchers.”

“The longer term holy grail of 3D bioprinting is the ability to be able to print viable human tissue for grafting or implant into the human body.”

“The company says that their goal is to open up bioprinting to a broader group of users.”
