Bioengineered periosteal progenitor cell sheets to enhance tendon-bone healing in a bone tunnel

Background: Tendon-bone tunnel healing is crucial for long term success in anterior cruciate liga­ment (ACL) reconstruction. The periosteum contains osteochondral progenitor cells that can differenti­ate into osteoblasts and chondroblasts during tendon-bone healing. We developed a scaf­fold-free met...
