Journal Article
Citro, V., Clerici, M., Della Porta, G., Maffulli, N., Boccaccini, A. R., Dale, T. P., & Forsyth, N. R. (2025). Tenogenic Cues Are Biochemically and Environmentally Distinct for Tendon Stem Cells and Mesenchymal/Stromal Stem Cells. Stem Cells International, 2025, Article 9047956. https://doi.org/10.1155/sci/9047956

Tendon tissue engineering draws on regenerative medicine principles, offering innovative solutions to address the challenges posed by tendon injuries and degenerative conditions. Tendons’ inherent limited regenerative capacity often hinders complete...

Growth Factor‐Loaded Mesoporous Silica Particles, Incorporated in Electrospun PCL Fibres, Provide Topographical and Chemical Cues for Tendon Tissue Engineering (2025)
Journal Article
Citro, V., Clerici, M., Shephard, M. T., Dale, T. P., Boccaccini, A. R., & Forsyth, N. R. (2025). Growth Factor‐Loaded Mesoporous Silica Particles, Incorporated in Electrospun PCL Fibres, Provide Topographical and Chemical Cues for Tendon Tissue Engineering. Advanced Materials Technologies, Article 2500246. https://doi.org/10.1002/admt.202500246

This study develops a biomaterial‐based strategy to address challenges in controlled growth factor delivery for tenogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and tendon stem cells (TSCs). The 20% polycaprolactone (PCL) fibres, electro...

Endotenon-Derived Type II Tendon Stem Cells Have Enhanced Proliferative and Tenogenic Potential (2023)
Journal Article
Clerici, M., Citro, V., Byrne, A. L., P. Dale, T., Boccaccini, A. R., Della Porta, G., Maffulli, N., & Forsyth, N. R. (2023). Endotenon-Derived Type II Tendon Stem Cells Have Enhanced Proliferative and Tenogenic Potential. International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 24(20), Article 15107. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms242015107

Tendon injuries caused by overuse or age-related deterioration are frequent. Incomplete knowledge of somatic tendon cell biology and their progenitors has hindered interventions for the effective repair of injured tendons. Here, we sought to compare...

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.
