Bone‐Adhesive Anisotropic Tough Hydrogel Mimicking Tendon Enthesis
Advanced Materials, 2022AbstractTendon consists of soft collagen, yet it is mechanically strong and firmly adhered to the bone owing to its hierarchically anisotropic structure and unique tendon‐to‐bone integration (enthesis), respectively. Despite the recent advances in biomaterials, hydrogels simultaneously providing tendon‐like high mechanical properties and strong ...

Validity of enthesis ultrasound assessment in spondyloarthropathy
Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2009To develop an ultrasound enthesis score and to assess its validity in the diagnostic classification of the spondyloarthropathies (SpAs).Twenty-five patients with SpA and 29 healthy controls participated in a blinded, gender-matched, cross-sectional study involving ultrasound assessment. The following entheses were explored bilaterally: proximal plantar

Enthesis repair – State of play
Biomaterials AdvancesThe fibrocartilaginous enthesis is a highly specialised tissue interface that ensures a smooth mechanical transfer between tendon or ligament and bone through a fibrocartilage area. This tissue is prone to injury and often does not heal, even after surgical intervention.

Basic Concepts of Enthesis Biology and Immunology
The Journal of Rheumatology Supplement, 2009The article highlights key features of entheses relevant to understanding psoriatic arthritis (PsA). It is emphasized that entheses are regions of stress concentration and that stress levels are reduced by anatomical adaptations at the insertion site and its adjoining tissues.

ENTHESIS AS AN ORGAN AND ITS PATHOLOGIES
Journal of Ural Medical Academic Science, 2022Excessive overstrain of the tendon apparatus occurs in athletes and people performing heavy physical work. Untimely treatment, or its complete absence, can lead to the development of severe diseases of the musculoskeletal system. The effectiveness of therapy is influenced by the doctor’s understanding of modern ideas about the pathogenesis of ...

Primed for inflammation: enthesis-resident T cells
Nature Medicine, 2012The enthesis is the region at the junction between tendon and bone and has been suggested to be a key target in spondyloarthritic diseases. This zone is now shown to contain a unique population of resident T cells, which, when activated by the cytokine interleukin-23 (IL-23), can promote pathogenesis that is characteristic of spondyloarthritis (pages

The enthesis in psoriatic arthritis.
Clinical and experimental rheumatology, 2015In recent years the argument that enthesitis is the primary lesion in many or most patients with psoriatic arthritis and spondyloarthritis has gained further credence from animal models including IL23/IL17 axis and TNF dependent models. The role of joint biomechanics at entheses and other sites of high physical stressing as a unifying underlying basis ...

3D representation and analysis of enthesis morphology
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2013This comparison of methods for assessing the development of muscle insertion sites, or entheses, suggests that three‐dimensional (3D) quantification of enthesis morphology can produce a picture of habitual muscle use patterns in a past population that is similar to one produced by ordinal scores for describing enthesis morphology.

Enthesis bilateral asymmetry in humans and African apes
HOMO, 2008Entheses (skeletal muscle and tendon attachment sites) have often been used to infer handedness and activity variability among human populations. However, the specific roles that intensity vs. frequency of muscle contractions play in modifying entheses are not well understood and the assumption that entheses reflect muscle activity levels has been ...
