Mechanical activation drives tenogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells in aligned dense collagen hydrogels
2021-11-25
Abstract excerpt
Tendons are force transmitting mechanosensitive tissues predominantly comprised of highly aligned collagen type I fibres. In this study, the recently introduced gel aspiration-ejection method was used to rapidly fabricate aligned dense collagen (ADC) hydrogel scaffolds. ADCs provide a biomimetic environment compared to traditional collagen hydrogels that are mechanically unstable and comprised of randomly oriented...
