Making connections: using anatomy to guide tissue engineering approaches at the enthesis [PDF]
European Cells & Materials, 2022 The enthesis demonstrates a distinct highly ordered zonal microanatomy at the osteotendinous/osteoligamentous tissue connection that allows for the smooth transmission of mechanical forces between tissues.

Bone & Joint Research, 2022 Tendon is a bradytrophic and hypovascular tissue, hence, healing remains a major challenge. The molecular key events involved in successful repair have to be unravelled to develop novel strategies that reduce the risk of unfavourable outcomes such as non-

Biomedicines, 2023 Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common movement disorder in children, with a prevalence ranging from 1.5 to 4 per 1000 live births. CP is caused by a non-progressive lesion of the developing brain, leading to progressive alterations of the ...

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022 Despite the high incidence of tendon injuries worldwide, an optimal treatment strategy has yet to be defined. A key challenge for tendon repair is the alignment of the repaired matrix into orientations which provide maximal mechanical strength.

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

Influence of Infraspinatus and Subscapularis Pathologies on Supraspinatus Muscle Atrophy - A Retrospective Cohort Study [PDF]
Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal, 2020 INTRODUCTION: Many factors could affect the supraspinatus (SSP) muscle after tendon rupture. We aimed to determine how infraspinatus and subscapularis tendon problems affect supraspinatus muscle atrophy associated with tears, in a retrospective cohort ...

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.

Sports Health: A Multidisciplinary Approach, 2009 Both magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and sonography are well suited to tendon imaging. A normal tendon on MRI demonstrates low signal intensity and on sonography, an echogenic fibrillar pattern. MRI is considered the imaging gold standard, providing an anatomic overview and excellent soft tissue contrast.
