Bioengineered periosteal progenitor cell sheets to enhance tendon-bone healing in a bone tunnel

Biomedical Journal, 2012
Background: Tendon-bone tunnel healing is crucial for long term success in anterior cruciate liga­ment (ACL) reconstruction. The periosteum contains osteochondral progenitor cells that can differenti­ate into osteoblasts and chondroblasts during tendon ...

Cone beam computed tomographic myelography in horses with cervical vertebral compressive myelopathy

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background While computed tomographic (CT) myelography is increasingly available and has been evaluated in alive horses, objective criteria for diagnosing cervical vertebral compressive myelopathy (CVCM) are lacking. Objectives To establish morphometric dimensions of the cervical vertebral canal and spinal cords from horses with CVCM and ...

An update on the landscape of collagen bioactive fragments

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The remodeling of the extracellular matrix releases collagen bioactive fragments, which exert molecular functions and regulate numerous biological processes via several signaling pathways. Here, we summarize the latest findings describing the roles of major bioactive fragments from collagens I, IV, VI, and XVIII in various physiological and ...

Anatomical design and production of a novel three‐dimensional co‐culture system replicating the human flexor digitorum profundus enthesis

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Anatomical morphometrics have been used to design and manufacture models of the flexor digitorum profundus tendon to bone insertion in vitro. This innovative approach can be used to design models of other enthesis regions with anatomical and clinical applicability.

Collagen organisation in the fibrous joint capsules in the digits of the human hand

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The function of the finger joints is important for daily life. In this review of the literature, we consider the role of collagen and its organization within the fibrous finger joint capsules of the interphalangeal (IP) joints and investigate the relationships between collagen orientation and joint function. Abstract Normal function of the hand and, in

Kartogenin

Foot & Ankle Orthopaedics, 2016
Category: Basic Sciences/Biologics Introduction/Purpose: Tendon-bone junction (TBJ) injuries are very common and optimal treatment modalities are lacking. TBJ injuries often heal without formation of the fibrocartilage transition zone increasing the risk

Morpho-functional changes in human tendon tissue

European Journal of Histochemistry, 2009
Insertion tissue biopsies of right arm common extensor tendons from 11 patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis were processed for light and electron microscopy. The subjects were aged between 38 and 54 years (only one was 25).

Functional anatomy of entheses and enthesis organs: A celebration of Professor Mike Benjamin's contribution to enthesis biology

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This review celebrates the work of Professor Mike Benjamin, whose anatomical research transformed our understanding of entheses. Entheses are biomechanically complex regions that accommodate the transition between soft connective tissues and bone by natural macroscopic and microscopic adaptations that reduce stress concentration.

The wide gape of snakes: A comparison of the developing mandibular symphysis in sauropsids

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Our analysis explores the adaptations at the mandibular symphysis required to allow extreme lower jaw mobility in macrostomate snakes taking a comparative approach. Abstract The origin and evolution of snakes has been marked by the acquisition of many morphological and functional novelties, one of which is the possession of a highly kinetic skull ...
