Printing Human Knee Cartilage in Space

Redwire Space has made history by successfully bioprinting human knee meniscus aboard the International Space Station (ISS). This achievement, using living human cells, offers potential for advancing tissue engineering and treating meniscus injuries on Earth. The experiment, named BFF-Meniscus-2, involved a 14-day culture process and returned to Earth via SpaceX's Crew-6 mission. Redwire's collaboration with the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences Center for Biotechnology addresses common orthopedic injuries among U.S. service members. Redwire's ambitions in bioprinting and microgravity research extend to pharmaceuticals, cardiac tissue, and collaboration with Sierra Space for the Orbital Reef space station module.
