  • Analysis of findings from studies employing these models.
  • Discussion of the limitations and complexities of simulating in vivo mechanical environments.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant advancements have been made in the functionality and mimicry of in vitro tendon loading models.
    • Despite progress, no single in vitro model perfectly replicates the complex mechanical milieu experienced by tendon cells in vivo.
    • Current models face challenges in accurately simulating combined tension, compression, and shear forces.

    Conclusions:

    • Developing ideal in vitro models for tendon mechanobiology remains an ongoing challenge.
    • Multidisciplinary approaches are essential for advancing our understanding of tendon mechanobiology.
    • Future research should focus on creating more sophisticated models that better replicate the in vivo cellular environment.
