Bioassembly is an emerging technology that uses microtissues or micro-precursor tissues as building blocks to construct a macro-tissue.  We summarize and highlight the application of bioassembly technology in regenerating articular cartilage.  We discuss the advantages of bioassembly and present two types of building blocks: multiple cellular scaffold-free spheroids and cell-laden polymer or hydrogel microspheres.  We present techniques for generating building blocks and bioassembly methods, including bioprinting and non-bioprinting techniques.
