Nanofibers for ligament and tendon tissue regeneration

摘要: Abstract Over the last decade, researchers have turned to nanofibrous ligament and tendon scaffolds as alternatives autografting, due fibers’ desirable surface properties. In addition, flexibility of material choice fabrication route allows creation highly tailored that support tissue generation while satisfying stringent mechanical property requirements presented by musculoskeletal tissues. This chapter explores recent work on nanofibers identifies ways in which can address challenges posed current treatments. We also discuss methods for translating nanofiber properties into three-dimensional scaffolds, based existing emerging textile composite techniques.
