TL;DR: The integration of scaffold computational design and free-form fabrication techniques presented here could prove highly useful for the construction of scaffolds that have anatomy specific exterior architecture derived from patient CT or MRI data and an interior porous architecturederived from computational design optimization.

TL;DR: The findings support overuse activity as an etiologic factor in the development of supraspinatus tendinopathy and begin to describe the changes in the tendons as a result of such activity.

TL;DR: Integrated image-based design and solid free-form fabrication can create scaffolds that attain desired elasticity and permeability while fitting any 3D craniofacial defect, suggesting that designed scaffolds are clinically applicable for complex cranioFacial reconstruction.

TL;DR: There is an active but inadequate repair response to the defect in the rat supraspinatus tendon, which is not significantly worsened by in situ freezing of the tissue around the defect.

TL;DR: In this paper, a biomimetic fiber-guiding scaffolds using solid free-form fabrication methods that custom fit complex anatomical defects to guide functionally-oriented ligamentous fibers in vivo.
