A tendon transfers force from the contracting muscle to the skeletal system to produce
movement and is therefore a crucial component of the entire muscle‐tendon complex and its …

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are an important component of the extracellular matrix as they
influence cell behavior and have been sought for tissue regeneration, biomaterials, and …

In recent years, clinical applications have been proposed for various hydrogel products.
Hydrogels can be derived from animal tissues, plant extracts and/or adipose tissue …

Marine polysaccharides (MPs) are exceptional bioactive materials that possess unique
biochemical mechanisms and pharmacological stability, making them ideal for various …

Functional tendon tissue engineering depends on harnessing the biochemical and
biophysical cues of the native tendon extracellular matrix. In this study, we fabricated highly …

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are ancient molecules that have persisted throughout
vertebrate and invertebrate evolution for many hundreds of millions of years. They have …

Use of growth factors as biochemical molecules to elicit cellular differentiation is a common
strategy in tissue engineering. However, limitations associated with growth factors, such as …

During human movement, the muscle and tendinous structures interact as a mechanical
system in which forces are generated and transmitted to the bone and energy is stored and …

Tendon disorders are common medical conditions, which can be greatly debilitating as they
are often accompanied by great pain and inflammation. The techniques used nowadays for …

Background Tendinopathy alters the compositional properties of the Achilles tendon by
increasing fluid and glycosaminoglycan content. It has been speculated that these changes …
