This VR/AR/XR simulation represents a 3D-printed biomaterial scaffold designed to promote cartilage or bone tissue formation in different regions. When the stem cells (white) are placed in the different regions, they differentiate into cartilage (blue) or bone (red) cells. Understanding how cells and materials interact helps us design better therapeutic approaches to improve human health.
