Introduction. Tendons are specialised, heterogeneous connective tissues, which represent a
significant healthcare challenge after injury. Primary surgical repair is the gold standard …

Background: Most tendon injuries are occurring from a gradual wearing and tearing of the
tendon tissues from overuse. Such injuries are usually seen in sports, exercising, or daily …

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 …

Tendon injuries often result in significant pain and disability and impose severe clinical and
financial burdens on our society. Despite considerable achievements in the field of …

Tissue engineering techniques using novel scaffold materials offer potential alternatives for
managing tendon disorders. Tissue engineering strategies to improve tendon repair healing …

The tissue engineering field has made great strides in understanding how different aspects
of tissue engineered constructs (TECs) and the culture process affect final tendon repair …

Engineering synthetic scaffolds to repair and regenerate ruptured native tendon and
ligament (T/L) tissues is a significant engineering challenge due to the need to satisfy both …

Tendons are composed by extracellular collagen fibres arranged in regular arrays and are
responsible to transmit tensile forces from a muscle to a bone. Due to their poor healing …

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 …

Tendon injuries range from acute traumatic ruptures and lacerations to chronic overuse
injuries, such as tendinosis. Even with improved nonsurgical, surgical, and rehabilitation …
