Decellularized extracellular matrix bioinks for 3D bioprinting of the tendon–bone interface: From biomimetic gradients to regenerative healing
The tendon–bone interface anchors compliant tendon to rigid bone through continuous gradients in collagen orientation, proteoglycan content, mineralization, and local modulus. After adult injury, this spatiotemporal organization is difficult to restore, and repair typically produces a fibrous connection rather than a f...
