This interdisciplinary project combines the expertise of two supervisors (a cartilage biologist and a tissue engineer) to develop a bioprinted mechanically responsive tissue engineered model of cartilage and generate a transcriptomic and proteomic profile of healthy cartilage ageing.
For more details of the project, please check: https://nc3rs.org.uk/investigating-biomechanical-responses-healthy-and-diseases-ageing-cartilage-tissue-engineering.
We are happy to annouce that we have received NC3Rs PhD funding!
