Abstract:An emerging approach to repair and replace a great number of the ligament and tendon injuries that occur each year is the use of tissue engineering principles to fabricate replacement tissues. One of the current challenges in tendon/ligament tissue engineering is fabricating scaffolds that possess both the proper mechanical and biological properties. A promising strategy to produce such scaffolds is electrospinning. Electrospinning uses a high-voltage power supply to draw viscous polymer solutions into ultra-f… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
