Tissue engineering is a promising approach to repair tendon and muscle when natural
healing fails. Biohybrid constructs obtained after cells' seeding and culture in dedicated …

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 …

Tendinopathy is the term used to refer to tendon disorders. Spontaneous adult tendon
healing results in scar tissue formation and fibrosis with suboptimal biomechanical …

We developed a (three-dimensional) 3D scaffold, we named HY-FIB, incorporating a force-
transmission band of braided hyaluronate embedded in a cell localizing fibrin hydrogel and …

The high incidence of degenerative tears and prevalence of retears (20–95%) after surgical
repair makes rotator cuff injuries a significant health problem. This high retear rate is …

Tendons are force transmitting mechanosensitive tissues predominantly comprised of highly
aligned collagen type I fibres. In this study, the recently introduced gel aspiration-ejection …

Introduction Tendinopathies are common in elite and recreational athletes: traditionally
considered overuse injuries, they involve excessive tensile loading and subsequent …

Tendons are integral to our daily lives by allowing movement and locomotion but are
frequently injured, leading to patient discomfort and impaired mobility. Current clinical …

Enthesis, the interfacial tissue between a tendon/ligament and bone, exhibits a complex
histological transition from soft to hard tissue, which significantly complicates its repair and …

The availability of engineered biological tissues holds great potential for both clinical
applications and basic research in a life science laboratory. A prototype standalone …
