Biologic scaffolds composed of extracellular matrix (ECM) have been used to reinforce or
replace damaged or missing musculotendinous tissues in both preclinical studies and in …

Over the past few decades, small intestinal submucosa (SIS), a naturally occurring
decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM), has attracted much attention in tissue repair …

Ligaments and tendons are soft connective tissues which serve essential roles for
biomechanical function of the musculoskeletal system by stabilizing and guiding the motion …

Tissue engineering (TE) is an emerging interdisciplinary field aiming at the restoration or
