Functional Tissue Engineering of a Rotator Cuff Tendon
ثبت نشده
چکیده
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, 2006; Iannotti et al, 2006). The objective of this project is to develop a tissue engineered tendon construct with properties and characteristics representative of native tendon.

Tissue Engineering for Rotator Cuff Repair: An Evidence-Based Systematic Review
The purpose of this systematic review was to address the treatment of rotator cuff tears by applying tissue engineering approaches to improve tendon healing, specifically platelet rich plasma (PRP) augmentation, stem cells, and scaffolds. Our systematic search was performed using the combination of the following terms: "rotator cuff", "shoulder", "PRP", "platelet rich plasma", "stemcells", "sca...
متن کاملNovel nanofiber-based scaffold for rotator cuff repair and augmentation.
The debilitating effects of rotator cuff tears and the high incidence of failure associated with current grafts underscore the clinical demand for functional solutions for tendon repair and augmentation. To address this challenge, we have designed a poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanofiber-based scaffold for rotator cuff tendon tissue engineering. In addition to scaffold design and character...
متن کاملAllogenous tendon stem/progenitor cells in silk scaffold for functional shoulder repair.
Tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs) were recently identified within tendon tissues. The aim of this study was to investigate TSPC-seeded knitted silk-collagen sponge scaffold for functional shoulder repair. The multidifferentiation potential, proliferation, and immune properties of TSPCs were investigated in vitro, while the efficacy of TSPC-seeded knitted silk-collagen sponge scaffolds in pr...
متن کاملAlignment of collagen fiber in knitted silk scaffold for functional massive rotator cuff repair.
Rotator cuff tear is one of the most common types of shoulder injuries, often resulting in pain and physical debilitation. Allogeneic tendon-derived decellularized matrices do not have appropriate pore size and porosity to facilitate cell infiltration, while commercially-available synthetic scaffolds are often inadequate at inducing tenogenic differentiation. The aim of this study is to develop...
متن کاملRegenerative Medicine in Rotator Cuff Injuries
Rotator cuff injuries are a common source of shoulder pathology and result in an important decrease in quality of patient life. Given the frequency of these injuries, as well as the relatively poor result of surgical intervention, it is not surprising that new and innovative strategies like tissue engineering have become more appealing. Tissue-engineering strategies involve the use of cells and...
