From Tendon Injury to Collagen-based Tendon Regeneration: Overview and Recent Advances

Abstract: Tendon injury is a clinical, societal and economical issue. Moreover, tendon repair represents an important clinical challenge, partly due to the mechanical constraints that occur at the junctions with muscle and bone. Several strategies have been developed for tendon repair. In this review, we first assess the importance of tendon injuries from different sites and their causes. After a short overview of tendon three-dimensional organization, the complexity of the perfect repair quest is presented ranging from… Show more

“…This source has high resemblance to human collagen. There are no allergenic limitations to its usage because it has been widely used as a tendon reinforcement [22,23], hernia repairment [24], and for skin and wound healing as a plastic and reconstructive surgery material [25].…”

“…1,2 In a recent review by Rieu et al, a plethora of studies are highlighted for demonstrating that COL can be independently guided (i.e., in the absence of other biological molecules) into highly organized structures in vitro. 3 However, many of these approaches achieve fibrillar, anisotropic constructs by operating in a parameter space which largely deviates from the physiological environment. [4][5][6][7][8] We suspect that the need for extreme processing conditions stems from the absence of the associated molecular milieu (e.g., proteoglycans, proteins, glycoproteins, and enzymes) that is normally present during development.…”

“…In sharp contrast, collagen, another gold standard material in tissue engineering, has been extensively studied 24 . The simplicity of collagen self-assembly, induced by neutralization or 37°C heat activation, makes it favorable for multiple shaping techniques, such as molding or extrusion 25 . To investigate if similar processes could be used to trigger fibrin polymerization and thus widen the possibilities in fibrin shaping, we thus focused on fibrinogen and fibrin solutions at acidic pH.…”
