Tendon injuries represent an unsolved clinical need. Electrospun bundles using blends of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and collagen (Coll) in different percentages were prepared by an ‘ad hoc’ crosslinking system to increase the mechanical properties and reduce the loss of collagen after ageing in a physiological environment. The mechanical properties and cell proliferation were tested. High-resolution x- ray tomography was also performed to investigate the morphologyof the bundles.
