The vasculature and its role in the damaged and healing tendon [PDF]
Tendon pathology has many manifestations, from spontaneous rupture to chronic tendinitis or tendinosis; the etiology and pathology of each are very different, and poorly understood. Tendon is a comparatively poorly vascularised tissue that relies heavily

Biological and Mechanical Factors and Epigenetic Regulation Involved in Tendon Healing
Tendons are an important part of the musculoskeletal system. Connecting muscles to bones, tendons convert force into movement. Tendon injury can be acute or chronic.

Augmentation of Rotator Cuff Repair With Soft Tissue Scaffolds [PDF]
Background Tears of the rotator cuff are one of the most common tendon disorders. Treatment often includes surgical repair, but the rate of failure to gain or maintain healing has been reported to be as high as 94%. This has been substantially attributed

The role of mechanobiology in tendon healing [PDF]
Mechanical cues affect tendon healing, homeostasis, and development in a variety of settings. Alterations in the mechanical environment are known to result in changes in the expression of extracellular matrix proteins, growth factors, transcription factors, and cytokines that can alter tendon structure and cell viability.

Tendon reattachment to bone in an ovine tendon defect model of retraction using allogenic and xenogenic demineralised bone matrix incorporated with mesenchymal stem cells [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Tendon-bone healing following rotator cuff repairs is mainly impaired by poor tissue quality. Demineralised bone matrix promotes healing of the tendon-bone interface but its role in the treatment of tendon tears with retraction has not been ...

PDGF-loaded microneedles promote tendon healing through p38/cyclin D1 pathway mediated angiogenesis
Tendon injury is one of the most serious orthopedic diseases often leading to disability of patients. Major shortages of tendon healing are due to its multiple comorbidities, uncertainty of therapeutic efficacy and insufficient of angiogenesis.
