Abstract
The durable repair of articular cartilage remains a major challenge, requiring engineered tissue with the anisotropic collagen network’s structural organization. Through biofabrication technologies, we recreate this architecture to restore mechanical function, setting the fundamentals for engineering more functional and stable biosimilars that can restore tissue anisotropy in patients.
