Electrospinning technology: a promising approach for tendon–bone interface tissue engineering

Abstract

The regeneration of tendon–bone interface tissue has become a topic of great interest in recent years. However, the complex nature of this interface has posed challenges in finding suitable solutions. Tissue engineering, with its potential to improve clinical outcomes and play a crucial role in musculoskeletal function, has been increasingly explored for tendon–bone interface regeneration. This review focuses on the research advancements of electrospinning technology in interface tissue engineering. By utilizing electrospinning, researchers have been able to fabricate scaffolds with tailored properties to promote the regeneration and integration of tendon and bone tissues. The review discusses the unique structure and function of the tendon–bone interface, the mechanisms involved in its healing, and the limitations currently faced in achieving successful regeneration. Additionally, it highlights the potential of electrospinning technology in scaffold fabrication and its role in facilitating the development of functional and integrated tendon–bone interface tissues. Overall, this review provides valuable insights into the application of electrospinning technology for tendon–bone interface tissue engineering, emphasizing its significance in addressing the challenges associated with regeneration in this complex interface.
