Description
Gabrielle Lynn Hamner and Justin Lee Brown review scaffold design for tendon repair in a 2026 paper. Tendons heal poorly on their own, and the scar that forms is weak and tears again with ease. Lab grown scaffolds that mimic tendon could guide true regrowth instead. The review gathers work from 2020 to 2025 on how to build them well.
Four rules anchor the field in their read. A scaffold must match tendon's strength and stretch, sit well with body tissue, hold pores that let food and waste pass, and give cells the right push and pull cues. New builds layer cells, growth signals, and motion into one smart system. The authors map where the proof is strong and where it is thin.
