Journal ArticleDOI
Collagen self-assembly and the development of tendon mechanical properties.
TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on collagen self-assembly and tendon development and to relate this information to the development of elastic energy storage in non-mineralizing and mineralizing tendons, of particular interest is the mechanism by which energy is stored in tendons during locomotion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Viscoelastic properties of human skin and processed dermis.
TL;DR: The purpose of this work is to attempt to determine the elastic spring constant for collagen and elastic fibers in skin and to detemine if the values of these elastic constants are similar to those reported for other tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fiber-based tissue-engineered scaffold for ligament replacement: design considerations and in vitro evaluation.
TL;DR: This graft system is based on polymeric fibers of polylactide-co-glycolide 10:90, and it was fabricated using a novel, three-dimensional braiding technology, and the resultant micro-porous scaffold exhibited optimal pore diameters for ligament tissue ingrowth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anterior cruciate ligament regeneration using braided biodegradable scaffolds: in vitro optimization studies.

TL;DR: Based on the overall cellular response and its temporal mechanical and degradation properties in vitro, the PLLA braided scaffold pre-coated with Fn was found to be the most suitable substrate for ACL tissue engineering.
Journal ArticleDOI
3D in vitro bioengineered tumors based on collagen I hydrogels
TL;DR: The results presented in this study demonstrate the capacity of collagen I hydrogels to facilitate the development of 3D in vitro bioengineered tumors that are representative of the pre-vascularized stages of in vivo solid tumor progression.
