Tendinopathy is a multifactorial spectrum of tendon disorders that affects different
anatomical sites and is characterized by activity-related tendon pain. These disorders are …

Mechanical loading is an important factor in musculoskeletal health and disease. Tendons
and ligaments require physiological levels of mechanical loading to develop and maintain …

Background: Previous studies of bioactive molecules in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) have
documented growth factor concentrations that promote tissue healing. However, the effects …
