Biomimetic Scaffolds for Tendon Tissue Regeneration
Tendon tissue connects muscle to bone and plays crucial roles in stress transfer. Tendon injury remains a significant clinical challenge due to its complicated biological structure and poor self-healing capacity.

Tendon is covered by a basement membrane epithelium that is required for cell retention and the prevention of adhesion formation [PDF]
The ability of tendons to glide smoothly during muscle contraction is impaired after injury by fibrous adhesions that form between the damaged tendon surface and surrounding tissues. To understand how adhesions form we incubated excised tendons in fibrin
