Popis: Tendon diseases pose a significant challenge in regenerative medicine due to the limited healing capacity of this tissue. Successful tendon regeneration requires a combination of angiogenesis, immune response, and tenogenesis processes. An effective tendon engineering (TE) strategy must finely tune this systems’ interplay toward homeostasis.This study explores in vitro the paracrine influence of amniotic epithelial stem cells (AECs) engineered on a validated 3D electrospun PLGA scaffolds on HUVECs (angiogenesis), PBMCs/Jurkat (immune response), and AECs (tenogenic stem cell activation).The results revealed the role of scaffold's topology and topography in significantly modulating the paracrine profile of the cells. In detail, AECs basal release of bioactive molecules was boosted in the cells engineered on 3D scaffolds, in particular VEGF-D, b-FGF, RANTES, and PDGF-BB (p
