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

Making connections: using anatomy to guide tissue engineering approaches at the enthesis [PDF]
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.

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-

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

Effect of fatigue loading on structure and functional behaviour of fascicles from energy-storing tendons [PDF]
Tendons can broadly be categorized according to their function: those that act purely to position the limb and those that have an additional function as energy stores.

Didatic approach of ultrasonographic examination for evaluation of the carpal joint in horses
: The carpus is a complex articulation, which is often involved in injuries in equine athletes. The objective of this study was to suggest a didactic approach for ultrasonography training for the examination of the carpal joint in horses.
