On page 7406, M. Zenobi‐Wong and co‐workers present a bioink which allows the bioprinting of complex cell‐laden cartilaginous structures with regulatory‐compliant biomaterials. The printed grafts have tunable mechanical properties and, since they can be developed to contain extracellular matrix particles, are also tissue‐specific. Complex and overhanging structures can be printed using a co‐extruded support polymer, which also acts as a cation‐reservoir to rapidly crosslink the bioink.
