Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention in some aspects provides implantable articles comprising in vitro-prepared tissues for joint repair. Devices and methods for introducing implantable articles into a subject are also provided. In some aspects of the invention devices and systems for minimally invasive surgery are provided. In some aspects, methods are provided for regenerating a bone-tendon interface in a subject by implanting an in vitro-prepared tissue between a detached tendon or detached ligament and a bone in a subject. In other aspects, methods are provided for maintaining exogenous, viable fibroblasts between a detached tendon and a bone in a subject. In other aspects, methods are provided for delivering exogenous cytokines and/or growth factors to a damaged bone-tendon interface.
