Musculoskeletal Tissue Engineering Laboratory: Our primary objective is to develop innovative strategies for the regeneration and rehabilitation of functional muscle tissue in cases of traumatic ...

Advances in tissue engineering have demonstrated that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and growth factors (GFs) enhance the regeneration of rotator cuff tendon-to-bone insertion in animal models ...

muscle, and even nerve conduits. As a result of the medical and market potential, there is significant academic and corporate interest in this technology. In the 1980s, R&D in tissue engineering ...

In particular, our group is focused primarily on cartilage tissue engineering, but will soon be expanding into cardiac muscle tissue engineering.

With a primary focus on tendon and ligament, his research program seeks to understand healthy tissue function and structure, assess changes that occur in injury/disease, and provide guidelines for ...

The Netherlands Objective To assess whether three-dimensional imaging of the Achilles tendon by ultrasonographic tissue characterisation (UTC) can differentiate between symptomatic and asymptomatic ...

This paper reclaims the term “mechanotherapy” and presents the current scientific knowledge underpinning how load may be used therapeutically to stimulate tissue repair and remodelling in tendon, ...
