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

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

open access: yesEuropean 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.

Tendon healing: a concise review on cellular and molecular mechanisms with a particular focus on the Achilles tendon

open access: yesBone & 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-

Tendon Stress Estimation from Strain Data of a Bridge Girder Using Machine Learning-Based Surrogate Model

open access: yesSensors, 2023
Prestressed girders reduce cracking and allow for long spans, but their construction requires complex equipment and strict quality control. Their accurate design depends on a precise knowledge of tensioning force and stresses, as well as monitoring the ...

Effect of fatigue loading on structure and functional behaviour of fascicles from energy-storing tendons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
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.
