The aim of the study is to demonstrate how to print 3D  biomimetic  hydrogel  scaffolds  for tissue engineering  with  high  cell  density,  high  cell  viability  and  high  printing resolution  using a novel 3D bioprinting approach. We used an innovative 3D deposition system based on a coaxial-needles extruder developed in-house. The bioinks were composed of modified biopolymers like gelatin, alginate, hyaluronic acid or chitosan. The biomimetic hydrogel were loaded with different types of cell including bone marrow-derived human mesenchymal stem cells or chondrocytes. Our findings show that the presented 3D printing method is highly robust and accurate and allows for formation of 3D biostructures which after some period develop into neo-tissues.
