Functional characterization of detergent-decellularized equine tendon extracellular matrix for tissue engineering applications.

Natural extracellular matrix provides a number of distinct advantages for engineering replacement orthopedic tissue due to its intrinsic functional properties. The goal of this study was to optimize a biologically derived scaffold for tendon tissue engineering using equine flexor digitorum superfici...
