Sclerostin modulates mineralization degree and stiffness profile in the fibrocartilaginous enthesis for mechanical tissue integrity

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
Fibrocartilaginous entheses consist of tendons, unmineralized and mineralized fibrocartilage, and subchondral bone, each exhibiting varying stiffness. Here we examined the functional role of sclerostin, expressed in mature mineralized fibrochondrocytes ...

Fibrochondrogenic differentiation potential of tendon-derived stem/progenitor cells from human patellar tendon

Journal of Orthopaedic Translation, 2020
Background: Bone–tendon junction (BTJ) is a unique structure connecting tendon and bone through a fibrocartilage zone. Owing to its unique structure, the regeneration of BTJ remains a challenge.

Histological evidence for a supraspinous ligament in sauropod dinosaurs [PDF]

, 2015
Supraspinous ossified rods have been reported in the sacra of some derived sauropod dinosaurs. Although different hypotheses have been proposed to explain the origin ofthis structure, histological evidence has never been provided to support or reject any
