Depletion of non-renewable resources and health hazards of petroleum-based polymers
and plastics has enforced the development of eco-friendly materials. The use of …

Stem cell therapy is a promising strategy for cartilage tissue engineering, and cell
transplantation using polymeric scaffolds has recently gained attention. Herein, we …

The interface tissue between bone and soft tissues, such as tendon and ligament (TL), is
highly prone to injury. Although different biomaterials have been developed for TL …

The firm integration of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) grafts into bones remains the most
demanding challenge in ACL reconstruction, since graft loosening means graft failure. For a …

A significant clinical challenge in large-to-massive rotator cuff tendon injuries is the need for
sustaining high mechanical demands despite limited tissue regeneration, which often results …

To promote bone repair, it is desirable to develop three-dimensional multifunctional fiber
scaffolds. The densely stacked and tightly arranged conventional two-dimensional …

Silk has a long history as an exclusive textile, but also as a suture thread in medicine;
nowadays, diverse cell carriers are manufactured from silk. Its advantages are manifold …

Limited tissue infiltration and disordered collagen alignment are primary factors in tendon
repair failure. This study introduces a multilayer-induced scaffold (IS@ DN) for tendon repair …

Facile and rapid 3D fabrication of strong, bioactive materials can address challenges that
impede repair of large-to-massive rotator cuff tears including personalized grafts, limited …
