Fabrication of a micropatterned shape-memory polymer patch with l -DOPA for tendon regeneration
Yucheol Son, Min Suk Lee, Dong Jun Hwang, Sun Hong Lee, Albert S. Lee, Seung Sang Hwang, Dong Hoon Choi, Chris Hyunchul Jo, Hee Seok Yang The shape-memory polymer based micropatterned patch (SMP-P) has mimicked a native tendon for providing physical cues and guiding effects. The SMP-P with DOPA enhanced tendon regeneration in a rat ruptured Achilles tendon model.
