Tendon tissue engineering: An overview of biologics to promote tendon healing and repair (2023)
Journal Article
Citro, V., Clerici, M., Boccaccini, A. R., Della Porta, G., Maffulli, N., & Forsyth, N. R. (2023). Tendon tissue engineering: An overview of biologics to promote tendon healing and repair. Journal of Tissue Engineering,

Tendons are dense connective tissues with a hierarchical polarized structure that respond to and adapt to the transmission of muscle contraction forces to the skeleton, enabling motion and maintaining posture. Tendon injuries, also known as tendinopa... Read More about Tendon tissue engineering: An overview of biologics to promote tendon healing and repair.

Percutaneous cruciate repair of ruptured Achilles tendon (2023)
Journal Article
