| Research Abstract |
Tissue engineering techniques using biodegradable three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds with cultured cells offer more potential alternatives for the treatment of severe ligament and tendon injuries. In tissue engineering, one of the crucial roles of 3D scaffolds is to provide a temporary template with the biomechanical characteristics of the native extracellular matrix (ECM) until the regenerated tissue matures. The purpose of the present study was to assess the effect of various cyclic mechanical stresses on cell proliferation and ECM production in a 3D scaffold made from chitosan and hyaluronan for ligament and tendon tissue engineering.
Multidimensional cyclic mechanical strain to mimic the physiological condition in vivo has the potential to improve or accelerate tissue regeneration in ligament and tendon tissue engineering using 3D scaffolds in vitro.
