Tuning the properties of all natural polymeric scaffolds for tendon repair with cellulose microfibers

Rotator cuff injuries affect a large percentage of the population worldwide. Surgical repair has rates of failure of up to 70%, and existing materials used in the reinforcement of injuries often lack appropriate mechanical properties and biodegradability. There is a clinical need for tendon biomater...
