Complementary strategies to promote the regeneration of bone-ligament transitions using graded electrospun scaffolds

Grafts currently used for the repair of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures integrate poorly with bone due to a significant mismatch in properties between graft and bone. Specifically, conventional grafts (e.g., hamstring tendon) are unable to recapitulate intricate gradients in mechano-chemic...
