Meniscus Tissue Tendon Repair

After a tendon injury, macrophage cells are the first immune cells to go to the affected area. The inflammatory phase is the first phase where cells clear debris and dead cells. Next, they transition to the next state where secrete growth factors help produce collagen. Once both of these processes are done, the tissue will start to regenerate and enter the remodeling phase where the wound starts to heal.

Fibrous Connective Tissue

Tenoblasts

Tenocyctes

Tenoblasts are often seeded onto scaffolds and exposed to mechanical stimulation to replicate these functions in a controlled setting, creating tissue that can be used for meniscus and tendon repair. These properties make tenoblasts valuable for treatments aimed at restoring function and structure to damaged tendons and meniscus tissue.

Tenocycte is an important part of tendon and meniscus tissue engineering. During the healing process, it regulates tendon homeostasis and mediates tendon repair. Causing for a successful healing process after surgery.

The meniscus tissue includes the fibrous connective tissue that attaches to the bone to help avoid the effects of osteoarthritic damage. During the healing process, three important cells help the tendon repair after the surgical procedure.
