A systematic investigation of the effects of TGF-β3 and mechanical stimulation on tenogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stromal cells in a poly(ethylene glycol)/gelatin-based hydrogel

Background: High post-surgical failure rates following tendon injury generate high medical costs and poor patient recovery. Cell-based tendon tissue engineering has the potential to produce fully functional replacement tissue and provide new strategies to restore tendon function and healing. In this...
