TL;DR: Gelatin-methacrylamide (gelMA) hydrogels are shown to support chondrocyte viability and differentiation and give wide ranging mechanical properties depending on several cross-linking parameters.

TL;DR: An innovative and versatile approach for bioprinting is presented, yielding constructs of which the mechanical stiffness provided by thermoplastic polymers can potentially be tailored, and combined specific cell placement patterns of multiple cell types embedded in a wide range of hydrogels.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 3D fiber deposition (3DF) technique was used for the fabrication of cell-laden, heterogeneous hydrogel constructs for potential use as osteochondral grafts.

TL;DR: The use of a 3D fiber deposition (3DF) technique for the fabrication of cell-laden, heterogeneous hydrogel constructs for potential use as osteochondral grafts is characterized and the possibility of manufacturing viable centimeter-scaled structured tissues by the 3DF technique is demonstrated.

TL;DR: This work evaluated the suitability of a novel semi-interpenetrating network (semi-IPN), based on hyaluronic acid and hydroxyethyl-methacrylate-derivatized dextran (dex-HEMA), to form 3D hydrogel bioprinted constructs, to form stable constructs of which their mechanical properties matched the wide range of mechanical strengths of natural tissues.
