Single-cell analysis reveals a nestin+ tendon stem/progenitor cell population with strong tenogenic potentiality

Science Advances, 2016
Nestin defines a novel tendon stem/progenitor cell subpopulation with high tenogenesis potential. The repair of injured tendons remains a formidable clinical challenge because of our limited understanding of tendon stem cells and the regulation of ...

Effect of Estrogen on Musculoskeletal Performance and Injury Risk

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
Estrogen has a dramatic effect on musculoskeletal function. Beyond the known relationship between estrogen and bone, it directly affects the structure and function of other musculoskeletal tissues such as muscle, tendon, and ligament.

Effect of tendon hydrogel on healing of tendon injury

Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine, 2017
Hand trauma arising from postoperative acute or chronic tendon injuries leads to delayed union and is one of the greatest challenges in clinical practice. The present study hypothesized that an extracellular matrix hydrogel made from tendons can promote tendon healing and improve tissue regeneration.

Mesoporous Bioactive Glasses: A Powerful Tool in Tissue Engineering and Drug Delivery

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work is a comprehensive revision of bioactive glasses (BGs), pioneered by Prof. L.L. Hench, which are key in bone repair and regenerative medicine. Sol–gel methods and mesoporous designs enhanced their bioactivity, ions, and drug delivery. BGs now support gene therapy and 3D‐printed scaffolds, enabling personalized, multifunctional treatments in ...

Eletroacupuntura aplicada nas fases precoce e tardia da cicatrização do tendão calcanear comum de coelhos após reparo tardio com peritônio bovino conservado em solução supersaturada de sal: aspectos clínicos Effects of eletroacupuncture on acute and chronic rabbit acchiles tendon healing, after late reconstruction using salt supersatured - stored bovine peritoneum graft: clinical aspects

Ciência Rural, 2006
Para avaliar o uso da eletroacupuntura (EA) sobre os aspectos clínicos e deambulatórios, 36 coelhos tiveram o tendão calcanear comum seccionado e, após 30 dias, receberam enxerto de peritônio bovino conservado em solução supersaturada de sal. Em seguida,

Stretching Your Energetic Budget: How Tendon Compliance Affects the Metabolic Cost of Running

PLoS ONE, 2016
Muscles attach to bones via tendons that stretch and recoil, affecting muscle force generation and metabolic energy consumption. In this study, we investigated the effect of tendon compliance on the metabolic cost of running using a full-body ...

Mechanical Reinforced and Self‐healing Hydrogels: Bioprinted Biomimetic Methacrylated Collagen Peptide‐Xanthan Gum Constructs for Ligament Regeneration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Readily UV‐curing and self‐healing methacrylated collagen peptide (COPMA) hydrogels are developed with tunable mechanical properties. As the interpenetrating network between COPMA and xanthan gum (XG), COPMA‐XG bioinks show improved mechanical properties, printability, and stability, compared to COPMA or XG.
