Efficient decellularization for tissue engineering of the tendon-bone interface with preservation of biomechanics.

Interfaces between tendon/ligament and bone ("entheses") are highly specialized tissues that allow for stress transfer between mechanically dissimilar materials. Entheses show very low regenerative capacity resulting in high incidences of failure after surgical repair. Tissue engineering i...
