Electrospinning is a process that creates nanofibers through an electrically charged jet of
polymer solution or melt. This technique is applicable to virtually every soluble or fusible …

Biopolymers, a class of fascinating polymers from biomass provide sustainability,
biodegradability, availability, biocompatibility, and unique properties. A ubiquitous feature of …

While a wide variety of approaches to engineering orthopedic tissues have been proposed,
less attention has been paid to the interfaces, the specialized areas that connect two tissues …

Well-aligned collagen fiber scaffolds are considered promising candidates for tendon tissue
engineering in terms of their biomimetic chemical composition and topographic structure …

Tendon traumas or diseases are prevalent and debilitating lesions that affect the quality of
life among populations worldwide. As a novel solution, tendon tissue engineering aims to …

Collagen fibres are ubiquitous macromolecular assemblies in nature, providing the
structures that support tensile mechanical loads within the human body. Aligned type I …

This study was aimed to develop a new practical ligament scaffold by synergistic
incorporation of silk fibers, a knitted structure, and a collagen matrix. The efficacy for …

Cell seeding on knitted scaffolds often require a gel system, which was found to be
practically unsuitable for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction as the cell–gel …

Many connective tissue diseases and defects are associated with poor synthesis or
excessive degradation of collagen. The modern tissue engineering approach is to replace …

Collagen presents a well-organized hierarchical multilevel structure. Microfibers, fibers, and
fiber bundles are the aggregates of natural collagen; which achieve an ideal balance of …
