Cyclic mechanical stimulation of TDCs improves tendon tissue maturation in vitro by enhancing collagen formation [PDF]

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
Tendinopathy represent a growing clinical problem and unmet therapeutic need, mainly due to the limited intrinsic regenerative capacity of tendons and our poor understanding of the underlying disease mechanisms.

Role of SOST in Response to Mechanical Stimulation in Bone and Extraosseous Organs [PDF]

Biomolecules
Sclerostin (SOST) is a specific osteocyte protein. During the differentiation and proliferation of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, the high expression of SOST can inhibit bone formation and contribute to osteoporosis and the bone metastasis of malignant ...

Generation of a whole-brain hemodynamic response function and sex-specific differences in cerebral processing of mechano-sensation in mice detected by BOLD fMRI

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
BOLD fMRI has become a prevalent method to study cerebral sensory processing in rodent disease models, including pain and mechanical hypersensitivity. fMRI data analysis is frequently combined with a general-linear-model (GLM) -based analysis, which uses

Bursa-Derived Cells Show a Distinct Mechano-Response to Physiological and Pathological Loading in vitro

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
The mechano-response of highly loaded tissues such as bones or tendons is well investigated, but knowledge regarding the mechano-responsiveness of adjacent tissues such as the subacromial bursa is missing.
