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 …

Background: The tissue engineering and regenerative medicine approach require
biomaterials which are biocompatible, easily reproducible in less time, biodegradable and …

Electrospun nanofibers have been frequently used for tissue engineering due to their
morphological similarities with the extracellular matrix (ECM) and tunable chemical and …

Reinforcing mechanically weak hydrogels with fibers is a promising route to obtain strong
and tough materials for biomedical applications while retaining a favorable cell environment …

In the last decades, much research has been done to fasten wound healing and target-direct
drug delivery. Hydrogel-based scaffolds have been a recurrent solution in both cases, with …

Biopolymers play a critical role as scaffolds used in tendon and ligament (TL) regeneration.
Although advanced biopolymer materials have been proposed with optimised mechanical …

Autologous cartilages or synthetic nasal implants have been utilized in augmentative
rhinoplasty to reconstruct the nasal shape for therapeutic and cosmetic purposes …

The rotator cuff consists of a cuff of soft tissue responsible for rotating the shoulder. Rotator
cuff tendon tears are responsible for a significant source of disability and pain in the adult …

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 …
