Tendon and ligament (TL) injuries affect millions of people annually. Biopolymers play a
significant role in TL tissue repair, whether the treatment relies on tissue engineering …

Tendons and ligaments (TL) have poor healing capability, and for serious injuries like tears
or ruptures, surgical intervention employing autografts or allografts is usually required …

With an increase in life expectancy and the popularity of high-intensity exercise, the
frequency of tendon and ligament injuries has also increased. Owing to the specificity of its …

Tendon and ligaments have poor healing capacity and when injured often require surgical
intervention. Tissue replacement via autografts and allografts are non-ideal strategies that …

AT PRESENT the therapeutic options to treat tendon and ligament injuries include
autografts, allografts, and prosthetic devices. 1–3 However, there are many disadvantages …

Soft tissues such as skin, muscle, and tendon are easily damaged due to injury from
physical activity and pathological lesions. For soft tissue repair and regeneration …

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 …

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

Regeneration of injured tendon and ligament (T&L) remains a clinical challenge due to their
poor intrinsic healing capacity. Tissue engineering provides a promising alternative …

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 …
