Tendon’s ultrastructure [PDF]

open access: yesMuscle 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

Dielectrophoretic Characterization of Tenogenically Differentiating Mesenchymal Stem Cells

open access: yesBiosensors, 2021
Tendons are collagenous musculoskeletal tissues that connect muscles to bones and transfer the forces necessary for movement. Tendons are susceptible to injury and heal poorly, with long-term loss of function.

Inhibition of Tendon Cell Proliferation and Matrix Glycosaminoglycan Synthesis by Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs in vitro [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of some commonly used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on human tendon. Explants of human digital flexor and patella tendons were cultured in medium containing pharmacological ...

Versican splice variant messenger RNA expression in normal human Achilles tendon and tendinopathies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Versican is the principal large proteoglycan expressed in mid-tendon, but its role in tendon pathology is unknown. Our objective was to define the expression of versican isoform splice variant messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) in normal Achilles tendons,

Elastin is Localised to the Interfascicular Matrix of Energy Storing Tendons and Becomes Increasingly Disorganised With Ageing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Tendon is composed of fascicles bound together by the interfascicular matrix (IFM). Energy storing tendons are more elastic and extensible than positional tendons; behaviour provided by specialisation of the IFM to enable repeated interfascicular sliding

Structure, ontogeny and evolution of the patellar tendon in emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) and other palaeognath birds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The patella (kneecap) exhibits multiple evolutionary origins in birds, mammals, and lizards, and is thought to increase the mechanical advantage of the knee extensor muscles.

The Regulation of Aggrecanase ADAMTS-4 Expression in Human Achilles Tendon and tendon-Derived Cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Several members of the ADAMTS (A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase with ThromboSpondin motifs) family have been identified as aggrecanases, whose substrates include versican, the principal large proteoglycan in the tendon extracellular matrix.

Comparative Study between Scales: Subjective Elbow Value and Patient-rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation Applied to Patients Affected by Lateral Epicondylitis [PDF]

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Ortopedia
Objective To verify if the subjective elbow value (SEV) scale presents similar results to those of the Patient-rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) scale in the evaluation of patients with lateral elbow epicondylitis (LEE).

How does a cadaver model work for testing ultrasound diagnostic capability for rheumatic-like tendon damage? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
To establish whether a cadaver model can serve as an effective surrogate for the detection of tendon damage characteristic of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In addition, we evaluated intraobserver and interobserver agreement in the grading of RA-like tendon ...

A Technical Review of the Simplified Approach to the Ultrasonography of the Elbow Joint

open access: yesIndian Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, 2023
The elbow joint is a complex joint which serves as a mechanical link between the hand, wrist and shoulder in the upper extremity. Soft-tissue structures and joints of the human body are often assessed by ultrasonography.
