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 ...

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)

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 ...

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 ...

Enthesis: A Brief Review

open access: yesApollo Medicine, 2015
Abstract Bone is a living tissue capable of changing its structure as the result of the stress to which it is subjected. It consists of cells, fibers and matrix. Calcification of extra cellular matrix makes it hard. The slight degree of elasticity in the bone is due to the presence of the organic fibers. The main function of the bone is protection of

Editorial Commentary: Kartogenin Promotes Wounded Enthesis Regeneration [PDF]

open access: yesArthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic & Related Surgery, 2018
Entheses are the insertion sites where tendons and ligaments attach to bone. Commonly, entheses are subject to overuse injuries, and tendon-to-bone healing is poor because the healing has occurred between 2 different tissues: hard tissue (bone) and soft tissue (tendon).

Innate Lymphoid Cells are Present at Healthy Patients Spinal Enthesis, Providing a Potential Mechanism for Spondyloarthropathy Pathogenesis

open access: yesGlobal Spine Journal, 2016
Background The pathogenesis of murine spondyloarthropathy (SpA) has been intimately linked to the presence of Interleukin(IL)-23 responsive, innate like lymphocytes at different anatomical regions including spinal enthesis. Human SpAs are associated with

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 ...
