Histological evaluation of tendon formation using a scaffold-free three-dimensional-bioprinted construct of human dermal fibroblasts under in vitro static tensile culture

Introduction: Tendon tissue engineering requires scaffold-free techniques for safe and long-term clinical applications and to explore alternative cell sources to tenocytes. Therefore, we histologically assessed tendon formation in a scaffold-free Bio-three-dimensional (3D) construct developed from n...
