Cyclic loading of tendon fascicles using a novel fatigue loading system increases interleukin-6 expression by tenocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Repetitive strain or ‘overuse’ is thought to be a major factor contributing to the development of tendinopathy. The aims of our study were to develop a novel cyclic loading system, and use it to investigate the effect of defined loading conditions on the

Reliability of a Novel Scoring System for MRI Assessment of Severity in Gluteal Tendinopathy: The Melbourne Hip MRI Score

open access: yesOrthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2021
Background: Gluteal tendinopathy is commonly reported in the literature, but there is a need for a validated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based scoring system to grade the severity of the tendinopathy.

Analysis of platelet-rich plasma extraction variations in platelet and blood components between 4 common commercial kits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been extensively used as a treatment in tissue healing in tendinopathy, muscle injury, and osteoarthritis. However, there is variation in methods of extraction, and this produces different types of PRP. Purpose:

Tendinopathy—from basic science to treatment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Chronic tendon pathology (tendinopathy), although common, is difficult to treat. Tendons possess a highly organized fibrillar matrix, consisting of type I collagen and various 'minor' collagens, proteoglycans and glycoproteins.

Dynamic three-dimensional shoulder MRI during active motion for investigation of rotator cuff diseases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background MRI is the standard methodology in diagnosis of rotator cuff diseases. However, many patients continue to have pain despite treatment, and MRI of a static unloaded shoulder seems insufficient for best diagnosis and treatment.

Fc receptor-like 3 (−169T>C) polymorphism increases the risk of tendinopathy in volleyball athletes: a case control study

open access: yesBMC Medical Genetics, 2018
Background Tendinopathy pathogenesis is associated with inflammation. Regulatory T (Treg) cells contribute to early tissue repair through an anti-inflammatory action, with the forkhead box P3 (FOXP3) transcription factor being essential for Treg function,

Increased expression of glutathione peroxidase 3 prevents tendinopathy by suppressing oxidative stress

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2023
Tendinopathy, a degenerative disease, is characterized by pain, loss of tendon strength, or rupture. Previous studies have identified multiple risk factors for tendinopathy, including aging and fluoroquinolone use; however, its therapeutic target remains
