Calcific tendonitis of the quadriceps tendon [PDF]
Journal of Surgical Case Reports, 2018 A 61-year-old woman presented with chronic anterior pain and stiffness in the distal left thigh. Examination revealed swelling and tenderness immediately proximal to the patella. Radiographs showed opacities in the distal anterior thigh whilst MRI identified enlargement of the distal quadriceps tendon with splayed fibres separated by solid ...

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2016 Tendons among connective tissue, mainly collagen, contain also elastic fibers (EF) made of fibrillin 1, fibrillin 2 and elastin that are broadly distributed in tendons and represent 1-2% of the dried mass of the tendon. Only in the last years, studies on structure and function of EF in tendons have been performed.

Muscle Ligaments and Tendons Journal, 2013 The structure of a tendon is an important example of complexity of ECM three-dimensional organization. The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a macromolecular network with both structural and regulatory functions. ECM components belong to four major types of macromolecules: the collagens, elastin, proteoglycans, and noncollagenous glycoproteins. Tendons are

A high-glucose diet affects Achilles tendon healing in rats
Scientific Reports, 2017 Chronic and acute tendinopathies are difficult to treat and tendon healing is generally a very slow and incomplete process and our general understanding of tendon biology and regeneration lags behind that of muscle or bone.

Tenophages: a novel macrophage-like tendon cell population expressing CX3CL1 and CX3CR1
Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2019 Tendon disorders frequently occur and recent evidence has clearly implicated the presence of immune cells and inflammatory events during early tendinopathy. However, the origin and properties of these cells remain poorly defined.

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022 Biomaterial augmentation of surgically repaired rotator cuff tendon tears aims to improve the high failure rates (∼40%) of traditional repairs. Biomaterials that can alter cellular phenotypes through the provision of microscale topographical cues are now

Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy due to Biallelic Pathogenic Variants in PIGM
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective PIGM encodes a critical enzyme in the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐anchor biosynthesis pathway. While promoter‐region mutations in PIGM have been associated with a relatively mild phenotype characterized by portal vein thrombosis and absence seizures, recent evidence suggests that coding‐region mutations result in a more severe
