The Role of Scaffolds in Tendon Tissue Engineering [PDF]
Journal of Functional Biomaterials, 2020 Tendons are unique forms of connective tissue aiming to transmit the mechanical force of muscle contraction to the bones. Tendon injury may be due to direct trauma or might be secondary to overuse injury and age-related degeneration, leading to ...

Tendon tissue engineering: An overview of biologics to promote tendon healing and repair
Journal of Tissue Engineering, 2023 Tendons are dense connective tissues with a hierarchical polarized structure that respond to and adapt to the transmission of muscle contraction forces to the skeleton, enabling motion and maintaining posture.

Innovative Strategies in Tendon Tissue Engineering [PDF]
Pharmaceutics, 2021 The tendon is a highly aligned connective tissue that transmits force from muscle to bone. Each year, more than 32 million tendon injuries have been reported, in fact, tendinopathies represent at least 50% of all sports injuries, and their incidence ...

Engineering of Functional Tendon [PDF]
Tissue Engineering, 2004 Surgical tendon repair is limited by the availability of viable tissue for transplantation. Because of its relatively avascular nature, tendon is a prime candidate for engineered tissue replacement. To address this problem, cells isolated from rat Achilles tendon were grown to confluence in culture and allowed to self-assemble into a cylinder between ...

Improved tendon healing using bFGF, BMP-12 and TGFβ1 in a rat model [PDF]
European Cells & Materials, 2018 Several growth factors (GFs) are expressed as tendons heal, but it remains unknown whether their combined application enhances the healing process.

Tissue Engineering of Tendons [PDF]
, 2008 Rupture of tendons due to either high load or laceration is a common injury, especially for the hand. Tendon disorders are traditionally treated by reducing inflammation, restoring flexibility, and, if necessary, performing surgical repair. It has been estimated that hand surgeons repair nearly one-third of a million digital flexor tendon injuries per ...
