Objectives Emerging evidence indicates that tendon disease is an active process with
inflammation that is critical to disease onset and progression. However, the key cytokines …

Background Tendinopathy is a common motor system disease that leads to pain and
reduced function. Despite its prevalence, our mechanistic understanding is incomplete …

Background: Chronic rotator cuff (RC) tendinopathy is one of the most prevalent causes of
shoulder pain. Growing evidence suggests that macrophages play a significant role in the …

Tendons are unique in the sense that they are constantly subjected to large mechanical
loads and that they contain tendon‐specific cells, including tenocytes and tendon …

Background: Shoulder injuries are common among competitive swimmers, and the
progression of shoulder pathology is not well understood. The objective of this study was to …

The rotator cuff is composed of several distinct muscles and tendons that function in concert
to coordinate shoulder motion. Injuries to these tendons frequently result in permanent …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the dynamic changes of histopathology,
biomechanical properties, echo intensity, and ultrasound features in a collagenase-induced …

Mechanical stress is involved in the onset of sports‐related enthesopathy. Although the
amount of exercise undertaken is a recognized problem during disease onset, changes in …

Chronic rotator cuff injuries (CRCIs) still present a great challenge for orthopaedics
surgeons. Many new therapeutic strategies are developed to facilitate repair and improve …

Background In the event of a traumatic rotator cuff tear, patients are routinely advised that
early surgical intervention produces an optimal repair, despite a lack of direct evidence to …
