Articular cartilage and osteochondral defect repair and regeneration presents significant challenges to the field of tissue engineering (TE). TE and regenerative medicine strategies utilizing natural and synthetic-based engineered scaffolds have shown potential for repair, however, they face limitations in replicating the intricate native microenvironment and structure to achieve optimal regenerative capacity and functional recovery. Herein, we report the development of a cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) as a printable biomaterial for tissue regeneration.

In the past years, the use of hydrogels derived from decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) for regenerative medicine purposes has significantly increased. The intrinsic bioactive and immunomodulatory properties indicate these materials as promising candidates for therapeutical applications. However, to date, limitations such as animal-to-animal variability still hinder the clinical translation.

The tumor microenvironment (TME) orchestrates cellular and extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions, playing a key role in tumorigenesis, tumor growth, and metastization. Investigating the interplay between stromal-epithelial cells within the TME is paramount for understanding cancer mechanisms but demands reliable biological models. 3D-models have emerged as powerful in vitro tools, but many fall short in replicating cell-cell/cell-matrix interactions.

The aim of this study was to determine the impact of accelerated aging (AA) on shelf stability, product loss, sensory and biochemical characteristics of 2 lower quality beef cuts. Triceps brachii (TB) and semimembranosus (SM) were collected and fabricated from 10 USDA Choice beef carcasses and assigned to 1 of 6 treatments: 3 d cooler aged (control), 21 d cooler aged, AA 49 °C for 2 h, AA 49 °C for 3 h, AA 54 °C for 2 h, and AA 54 °C for 3 h. The results showed that AA can decrease APC counts on steak surface and in purge and redness, but increase lightness and product loss of the steaks (P < 0.
