Deformable devices with region-selectively assembled osteoinductive microrobots for curved joint defect repair.

Caption

Inspired by the development process in natural tissues from ossification centers, a patient-specific joint repair device capable of adapting to curved joint defects and regulating the regeneration of bone mineralized matrices was developed by encoding mineralized microrobots abundant in nucleation sites via a 4D bioprinting strategy integrated with finite element analysis.
