: Human menisci were obtained from two institutions: the Medical University of Vienna, Centre for Anatomy and Cell Biology (EK # 2120/2022), and University Hospital Krems, Austria (EK # GS1-EK-4/775–2022), following positive ethics approval. Preliminary studies focused on the staining, freeze-drying, and scanning procedures were performed using a degeneratively altered meniscus collected from a patient undergoing total knee joint replacement at the University Hospital Krems. Additionally, image segmentation and verification of the freeze-drying process were carried out on eight intact menisci donated to the Body Donation Program at the Medical University of Vienna. Individuals provided written informed consent to participate in the Body Donation Program.This research adhered to the ethical principles established by regional and national research committees, aligning with the 1964 Helsinki Declaration and its subsequent revisions, or analogous ethical standards.
