A textile platform using mechanically reinforced hydrogel fibres towards engineering tendon niche

INTRODUCTION: Tendon injuries can result from tendon overuse or trauma, resulting in substantial pain and disability. Given that natural or surgical repair of tendons lead to a poor outcome in terms of mechanical properties and functionality, there is a great need for tissue engineering strategies....
