Flexor tendon tissue engineering: temporal distribution of donor tenocytes versus recipient cells.
Plast Reconstr Surg. 2009; (6): 2019-26
Tissue-engineered tendon material may address tendon shortages in mutilating hand injuries. Tenocytes from rabbit flexor tendon can be successfully seeded onto acellularized tendons that are used as tendon constructs. These constructs in vivo exhibit a population of tenocyte-like cells; however, it is not known to what extent these cells are of donor or recipient origin. Furthermore, the temporal distribution is also not known.
