Multimaterial Triphasic Scaffold Replicates Enthesis Microenvironment to Modulate Early Cell Responses

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
A bioinspired triphasic scaffold integrating 3D printed polycaprolactone and electrospun poly(lactic‐co‐glycolic acid) is developed to replicate the organization of the tendon‐to‐bone enthesis. Cyclic mechanical stimulation induces spatially defined cell morphology and lineage‐related gene expression in human mesenchymal stem cells, highlighting the ...
