Interface tissue engineering: next phase in musculoskeletal tissue repair.
Increasing incidence of musculoskeletal injuries coupled with limitations in the current treatment options have necessitated tissue engineering and regenerative medicine- based approaches. Moving forward from engineering isolated musculoskeletal tissues, research strategies are now being increasingly focused on repairing and regenerating the interfaces between dissimilar musculoskeletal tissues...
متن کاملEngineering of functional tendon.
Surgical tendon repair is limited by the availability of viable tissue for transplantation. Because of its relatively avascular nature, tendon is a prime candidate for engineered tissue replacement. To address this problem, cells isolated from rat Achilles tendon were grown to confluence in culture and allowed to self-assemble into a cylinder between two anchor points. The resulting scaffold-fr...
متن کاملFunctional Tissue Engineering of a Rotator Cuff Tendon
INTRODUCTION Surgical repair of tendon, including rotator cuff injury, are common procedures, however structural failure of the surgical repair is a common complication of the surgery, and in some instances there is a need to replace injured tendon. There is therefore a recognized need to generate tissue engineered tendons for repair and replacement of damaged or diseased tendon (Derwin et al, ...
متن کاملElectrospun Nanofibers and their Application in Tissue Repair and Engineering
Introduction: Tissue engineering is the repair and replacement of damaged tissues and requires a combination of cells, growth factor and porous scaffolds. Scaffolds, as one of the main components in tissue engineering, are used as a template for tissue regeneration and induction and guidance of growth of the new and biologically active tissues. An ideal scaffold in tissue engineering, imitating...
متن کاملScaffolds in Tendon Tissue Engineering
Tissue engineering techniques using novel scaffold materials offer potential alternatives for managing tendon disorders. Tissue engineering strategies to improve tendon repair healing include the use of scaffolds, growth factors, cell seeding, or a combination of these approaches. Scaffolds have been the most common strategy investigated to date. Available scaffolds for tendon repair include bo...
