Description
  • Abstract: Tendon injury occurs frequently, and is characterized by limited healing and scar tissue formation, leading to increased interest in tendon tissue engineering. This work focuses on two different needs within that field. First, there is a need for the development of an effective system for even cell delivery to nanofiber scaffolds. Coaxial electrospinning has shown promise as a delivery ... read more
