[Advances of research on preparation of tendon tissue engineered scaffolds using electrospinning].
OBJECTIVE
To review the application of electrospinning in preparation of tendon tissue engineered scaffolds, to describe its application effect and prospects.


METHODS
Recent literature was extensively reviewed and summarized from various aspects, concerning the application of electrospinning in preparing tendon tissue engineered scaffolds.


RESULTS
Because of its huge surface and high porosity, the electrospun fibers prepared by electrospinning technology have been widely used in the manufacture of tendon tissue engineered scaffolds in recent years. A variety of materials, including polylactic acid, have been successfully electrospun into various types of tendon tissue engineered scaffolds, and good results in the repair of tendon defect were achieved.


CONCLUSIONS
The electrospinning technology has provide a new way for the preparation of the tendon tissue engineered scaffolds, with the perfection of the technology they will have broad application prospects in the field of tendon tissue engineering.
