The vasculature and its role in the damaged and healing tendon [PDF]
Tendon pathology has many manifestations, from spontaneous rupture to chronic tendinitis or tendinosis; the etiology and pathology of each are very different, and poorly understood. Tendon is a comparatively poorly vascularised tissue that relies heavily

The Composite Antiadhesion Barrier Facilitated Fibroblast Autophagy Activation for Tendon Repair
Synthesis of an innovative three‐layer composite antiadhesion barrier (plasmid DNA@E–H–E′) is schematically illustrated, highlighting its reactive‐oxygen‐species‐responsive, unidirectional interleukin‐37 delivery to enhance fibroblast autophagy, thereby effectively preventing tendon adhesion and promoting scarless tendon repair.

The mechanism diagram reveals that the formation of trauma‐induced heterotopic ossification (HO) is accompanied by the polarization of macrophages toward the M1 phenotype. Additionally, the extracellular vesicles secreted by M1 macrophages, which contain periostin (POSTN), directly bind to PTK7 in tendon‐derived stem cells (TDSCs).

Current treatment concepts for Achilles tendon rupture
Achilles tendon rupture is a common and primary cause of lower limb tendon injury suffered during sports-related activities. The causes of Achilles tendon rupture include the calf muscle and tendon overuse, poor tendon quality, and various medical ...

Centimeter‐Scale Self‐Assembling Tendon Organoids Drive Tissue Regeneration
Centimeter‐scale tendon organoids are engineered by mimicking the extracellular matrix and optimizing chemical cues to guide tendon stem/progenitor cells. These large, self‐assembling constructs overcome conventional size limitations and exhibit enhanced tenogenic differentiation, extracellular matrix production, and mechanical resilience. Their tissue‐

Advanced glycation end products impair the repair of injured tendon: a study in rats
Background The AGEs levels in tissues of diabetics and elderly tend to be higher than in normal individuals. This study aims to determine the effects of AGEs on Achilles tendon repair.

Total posterior leg open wound management with free anterolateral thigh flap: case and literature review. [PDF]
Soft tissue coverage of the exposed Achilles tendon is a unique reconstructive challenge. In this report, we describe the management of a large posterior leg wound with exposed Achilles tendon using a free anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap. A careful review
