Meniscus tears are common knee injuries and a major osteoarthritis (OA) risk factor.
Knowledge gaps that limit the development of therapies for meniscus injury and …

Objective To investigate the expression and function of Mohawk (MKX) in human adult
anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tissue and ligament cells from normal and osteoarthritis …

The regeneration of the mammalian skeleton's craniofacial bones necessitates the action of
intrinsic and extrinsic inductive factors from multiple cell types, which function hierarchically …

Abstract The transcription factor Mohawk (Mkx) is expressed in developing tendons and is
an important regulator of tenogenic differentiation. However, the exact roles of Mkx in …

Tendons are essential structures that transmit mechanical forces generated by skeletal
muscles to bones to cause body motion. Acute tendon injury and tendinopathy are common …

Cell-based or pharmacological approaches for promoting tendon repair are currently not
available because the molecular mechanisms of tendon development and healing are not …

Abstract Background Mohawk (Mkx) is a homeodomain-containing transcription factor that is
expressed in various mesoderm-derived tissues, particularly in developing tendons. In this …

Objective To identify the role of misshapen/NIK-related kinase (MINK1) in age-related
Osteoarthritis (OA) and injury-induced OA, and the effects of enhanced TGFβ signaling in …

Mohawk homeobox (MKX) has been demonstrated as a tendon/ligament specific
transcription factor. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of MKX in …

The periodontal ligament (PDL), which connects the teeth to the alveolar bone, is essential
for periodontal tissue homeostasis. Although the significance of the PDL is recognized …
