Development of a multiphasic material with continuous gradient for tissue engineering of the osteotendinous and myotendinous junctions

Beschreibung

Tendons link muscle to bone, enabling movement, but heal poorly. To improve repair, researchers are developing engineered grafts mimicking bone-tendon-muscle interfaces. Unique structures at entheses and myotendinous junctions can guide cell differentiation via topographical and mechanical cues. Honeycomb scaffolds induced bone-like differentiation, while aligned fibers promoted tendon fate. A gradient scaffold with three zones (bone, tendon, muscle) supported initial co-culture, though high-proliferation cell lines affected outcomes. Future work involves optimizing scaffold design and using primary or stem cells for full tissue integration.
