Consilient evidence affirms expansive stabilizing ligaments in the tyrannosaurid foot

Vertebrate Anatomy, Morphology, Palaeontology, 2022
Tyrannosaurid dinosaurs were ecologically unique vertebrates as the sole clade of large terrestrial carnivores (adults >400 kg) in their continent-spanning habitats.

Multimaterial and multiscale scaffold for engineering enthesis organ

International Journal of Bioprinting, 2023
Tendon and ligament injuries are relevant clinical problems in modern society, and the current medical approaches do not guarantee complete recovery of the physiological functionalities. Moreover, they present a non-negligible failure rate after surgery. Failures often occur at the enthesis, which is the area of tendons and ligaments insertion to bones.

Enthesis Tissue Engineering: Biological Requirements Meet at the Interface [PDF]

Tissue Engineering Part B: Reviews, 2019
The main goal of this review is to give an overview of cell-based and tissue engineered strategies for tendon-to-bone interface. The essential role of cells in tendon-to-bone interface development, healing, and regeneration, is underpinned by the physiological status of the junction.

Assembly, maturation, and degradation of the supraspinatus enthesis [PDF]

Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, 2018
The development of the rotator cuff enthesis is still poorly understood. The processes in the early and late developmental steps are gradually elucidated, but it is still unclear how cell activities are coordinated during development and maturation of the structured enthesis.

Why Inhibition of IL-23 Lacked Efficacy in Ankylosing Spondylitis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
The term spondyloarthritis pertains to both axial and peripheral arthritis including ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), which is strongly linked to psoriasis and also the arthritis associated with inflammatory bowel disease.

The Effects of Downhill Running and Maturation on Histological and Morphological Properties of Tendon and Enthesis in Mice

Biology, 2023
To date, it remains unclear how overuse affects the tendons and entheses at different stages of maturation. Therefore, we evaluated histological and morphological changes in the tendons and entheses in adolescent (4-week-old) and adult mice (8-week-old ...

The Correlation between the Elastic Modulus of the Achilles Tendon Enthesis and Bone Microstructure in the Calcaneal Crescent

Tomography
Background: The calcaneal enthesis, an osseous footprint where the Achilles tendon seamlessly integrates with the bone, represents a complex interface crucial for effective force transmission.
