Tendon and ligament injuries are the most common musculoskeletal injuries, which not only
impact the quality of life but result in a massive economic burden. Surgical interventions for …

Delignified wood (DW) offers a versatile platform for the manufacturing of composites, with
material properties ranging from stiff to soft and flexible by preserving the preferential fiber …

The natural healing capacity of the tendon tissue is limited due to the hypovascular and
cellular nature of this tissue. So far, several conventional approaches have been tested for …

Drug-loaded porous membranes have been deemed to be effective physicochemical
barriers to separate postoperative adhesion-prone tissues in tendon healing. However, cell …

A flexor tendon injury is acquired fast and is common for athletes, construction workers, and
military personnel among others, treated in the emergency department. However, the …

Despite the growing clinical use of extracellular matrix (ECM)-based biomaterials for tendon
repair, undesired healing outcomes or complications have frequently been reported. A major …
