Design and characterization of an injectable tendon hydrogel: a novel scaffold for guided tissue regeneration in the musculoskeletal system.
RatOtherWistarPercutaneous injection into the zone of tendon injury
Model: Tendon defect in a rat model, with the extracellular matrix solution delivered percutaneously into the zone of tendon injury; the specific injury procedure is not described in the retrieved sources
The study was principally a characterisation, showing storage and loss moduli of 213.1 plus or minus 19.9 Pa and 27.1 plus or minus 2.4 Pa at 1 rad/s, sigmoidal gelation after about 15 minutes at 37 degrees Celsius, early CD68 positive macrophage invasion followed by increasing fibroblast numbers i…
