Anatomy and histomorphology of the flexor digitorum profundus enthesis: functional implications for tissue engineering and surgery

open access: yesBMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2021
Background The enthesis possesses morphological adaptations across the soft-hard tissue junction which are not fully restored during surgical avulsion repairs.

Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals cellular and molecular heterogeneity in fibrocartilaginous enthesis formation

open access: yeseLife, 2023
The attachment site of the rotator cuff (RC) is a classic fibrocartilaginous enthesis, which is the junction between bone and tendon with typical characteristics of a fibrocartilage transition zone. Enthesis development has historically been studied with

Enthesis Repair [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bone and Joint Surgery, 2018
Abstract: On May 22, 2017, the National Institutes of Health (NIH)/National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) hosted a roundtable on “Innovative Treatments for Enthesis Repair.” A summary of the roundtable discussion, as well as a list of the extramural participants, can be found at https://www.niams.nih.gov/

Enthesis Healing Is Dependent on Scaffold Interphase Morphology—Results from a Rodent Patellar Model

open access: yesCells, 2022
The use of multiphasic scaffolds to treat injured tendon-to-bone entheses has shown promising results in vitro. Here, we used two versions of a biphasic silk fibroin scaffold to treat an enthesis defect created in a rat patellar model in vivo.

Tissue Engineering for the Insertions of Tendons and Ligaments: An Overview of Electrospun Biomaterials and Structures

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021
The musculoskeletal system is composed by hard and soft tissue. These tissues are characterized by a wide range of mechanical properties that cause a progressive transition from one to the other.

Bi-fated tendon-to-bone attachment cells are regulated by shared enhancers and KLF transcription factors

open access: yeseLife, 2021
The mechanical challenge of attaching elastic tendons to stiff bones is solved by the formation of a unique transitional tissue. Here, we show that murine tendon-to-bone attachment cells are bi-fated, activating a mixture of chondrocyte and tenocyte ...

IL-17A and TNF Modulate Normal Human Spinal Entheseal Bone and Soft Tissue Mesenchymal Stem Cell Osteogenesis, Adipogenesis, and Stromal Function

open access: yesCells, 2021
Objective: The spondylarthritides (SpA) are intimately linked to new bone formation and IL-17A and TNF pathways. We investigated spinal soft tissue and bone mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) responses to IL-17A and TNF, including their osteogenesis ...

Tendon enthesis positional recruitment model

open access: yes, 2021
A mathematical model was developed to describe the mechanics of the tendon enthesis across a range of joint orientations and geometries. This zip file contains all relevant code for the simulations in this paper. The MATLAB codes are as follow: 1) WORKING_V5_Postural_RecruitmentModel.m — runs the positional recruitment model with specified parameters 2)

Local anisotropy in mineralized fibrocartilage and subchondral bone beneath the tendon-bone interface

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The enthesis allows the insertion of tendon into bone thanks to several remarkable strategies. This complex and clinically relevant location often features a thin layer of fibrocartilage sandwiched between tendon and bone to cope with a highly ...

TGF-β1 derived from macrophages contributes to load-induced tendon-bone healing in the murine rotator cuff repair model by promoting chondrogenesis

open access: yesBone & Joint Research, 2023
Aims: It has been established that mechanical stimulation benefits tendon-bone (T-B) healing, and macrophage phenotype can be regulated by mechanical cues; moreover, the interaction between macrophages and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) plays a ...
