“…Tendons are fibrous connective structures whose primary purpose is to link muscles to bones and convey force ( Duscher and Shiffman, 2019 ). They act as energy warehouses and aid in maintaining carriage and joint mobility ( Canata et al, 2017 ; Qi et al, 2020 ), which necessitates that tendons endure significant tensile and compressive stresses ( Duscher and Shiffman, 2019 ). Its activities are connected with distinct mechanical and physicochemical properties, which distinguish this tissue from all others in the body.…”

“…Initially, the cells vary in shape and size; however, as people age, their morphology modifications, and they grow in length, more delicate, and more identical in shape, converting into tenocytes ( Kannus, 2000 ; Benjamin et al, 2008 ). The other 5 to 10 percent of cells are a mixture of chondrocytes (set up in the bone junction zone), cells of the ancestor (tendon-derived stem cells, TDSC), vascular endothelial cells (surrounding the vascular system), lymphocytes, or other types of immune cells (for instance neutrophils, mast cells, and macrophages), smooth muscle cells and nerve cells (found close to muscle junction) ( Canata et al, 2017 ).…”

Tendon wounds are a worldwide health issue affecting millions of people annually. Due to the characteristics of tendons, their natural restoration is a complicated and lengthy process. With the advancement of bioengineering, biomaterials, and cell biology, a new science, tissue engineering, has developed. In this field, numerous ways have been offered. As increasingly intricate and natural structures resembling tendons are produced, the results are encouraging. This study highlights the nature of the tendon and the standard cures that have thus far been utilized. Then, a comparison is made between the many tendon tissue engineering methodologies proposed to date, concentrating on the ingredients required to gain the structures that enable appropriate tendon renewal: cells, growth factors, scaffolds, and scaffold formation methods. The analysis of all these factors enables a global understanding of the impact of each component employed in tendon restoration, thereby shedding light on potential future approaches involving the creation of novel combinations of materials, cells, designs, and bioactive molecules for the restoration of a functional tendon.
