Background: Tendon injuries are commonly seen in sports medicine practice. Many elite players involved in high-impact activities develop patellar tendinopathy (PT) symptoms. Of them, a small percentage will develop refractory PT and need to undergo s... Read More about Failed Surgery for Patellar Tendinopathy in Athletes: Midterm Results of Further Surgical Management.

Chondrogenic Commitment of Human Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells in a Perfused Collagen Hydrogel Functionalized with hTGF-ß1-Releasing PLGA Microcarrier (2021)
Journal Article
Dale, T., Forsyth, N., & Maffulli, N. (2021). Chondrogenic Commitment of Human Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells in a Perfused Collagen Hydrogel Functionalized with hTGF-ß1-Releasing PLGA Microcarrier. Pharmaceutics,

Tissue engineering strategies can be relevant for cartilage repair and regeneration. A collagen matrix was functionalized with the addition of poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid microcarriers (PLGA-MCs) carrying a human Transforming Growth Factor ß1 (hTFG-...
