Redwire completed the printing of the first human knee meniscus on orbit using its upgraded 3D BioFabrication Facility and bioinks.
“This is a groundbreaking milestone with significant implications for human health,” said Redwire Executive Vice President John Vellinger, in a“Demonstrating the ability to successfully print complex tissue such as this meniscus is a major leap forward toward the development of a repeatable microgravity manufacturing process for reliable bioprinting at scale,” he emphasized.
This collaborative effort was conducted as part of the BFF-Meniscus-2 Investigation in partnership with the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences Center for Biotechnology , a biomedical research center dedicated to exploring and adapting promising biotechnologies for the benefit of warfighters.'s Frank Rubio, Warren "Woody" Hoburg, Stephen Bowen, and UAE astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi.
