Fabrication of hierarchical and biomimetic fibrous structures to support the regeneration of tendon tissues

Tendons are connective tissues mainly composed of hierarchically organized extracellular matrix (ECM) whose function is transmitting forces between muscles and bones. Natural healing of tendons is highly ineffective and current repair strategies present numerous limitations. Thus, tissue engineering...
