Figure 3: Biomaterial strategies to mimic and heal connective tissues.

Figure 3:

Several materials are engineered with varying structure and composition to recapitulate connective tissues, such as (a) adipose tissue, (b) cartilage, (c) dermis, and (d) tendon. In addition to using biologic-free approaches, methods incorporating cells, growth factors, and drugs are common.
