The purpose of the current review is to highlight the structure‐function relationship of
tendons and related structures to provide an overview for readers whose interest in tendons …

Interface tissue engineering is a promising new strategy aimed at the regeneration of tissue
interfaces and ultimately enabling the biological fixation of soft tissue grafts used in …

Background: A repaired tendon needs to be protected for weeks until it has accrued enough
strength to handle physiological loads. Tissue-engineering techniques have shown promise …

PURPOSE: Tissue-engineered tendon grafts will meet an important clinical need. To
engineer tendons, we used acellularized allogeneic tendon as scaffold material. To …

Background: Recent research of lateral elbow tendinopathy has led to the use of laboratory-
amplified tenocyte-like cells. Hypothesis: Ultrasound-guided injection of autologous skin …

Mutilating injuries of the hand and upper extremity result in tendon losses too great to be
replaced by autologous grafts. The goal of this study was to use tissue engineering …

The major goal of regenerative medicine is to determine experimental techniques that take
maximal advantage of reparative processes that occur naturally in the animal body. Injection …

Background: The failure of rotator cuffs to heal after repair is an unresolved surgical issue.
There have been substantial efforts, including the use of biological supplements, to enhance …

Background: In mutilating hand injuries, tissue engineered tendon grafts may provide a
reconstructive solution. We have previously described a method to decellularize cadaveric …

Background: Tenocytes derived from tendons have been reported to be effective in the
treatment of rotator cuff tears through the expression of extracellular matrix proteins. Human …
