Tendon injury is common and debilitating, and it is associated with long-term pain and
ineffective healing. It is estimated to afflict 25% of the adult population and is often a career …

The structural constituents of tissues in organisms are composed primarily of minerals and
proteins. Collagen is the most common protein used to construct such natural materials in …

While the predominant function of all tendons is to transfer force from muscle to bone and
position the limbs, some tendons additionally function as energy stores, reducing the cost of …

Abnormal tendons are rarely ever repaired to the natural structure and morphology of
normal tendons. To better guide the repair and regeneration of injured tendons through a …

Abstract Structure-function relationships in tendons are directly influenced by the
arrangement of collagen fibres. However, the details of such arrangements in functionally …

Tendon is composed of rope-like fascicles, bound together by interfascicular matrix (IFM).
Our previous work shows that the IFM is critical for tendon function, facilitating sliding …

Tendon injuries are the most common soft tissue injuries, caused by tissue overuse and age‐
related degeneration. However, the tendon repair process is slow and inefficient due to the …

Tendon injuries are common clinical issues resulted from tissue overuse and age-related
degeneration. Previous sutdies have suggested that exosomes secreted by mesenchymal …

Tendons are composed of highly aligned collagen, arranged along the long axis for tensile
strength. The collagen is arranged in a series of hierarchical levels, surrounded at each …

Tendons are constructed from collagenous fascicles separated by endotenon/interfascicular
matrix (IFM). Tendons may be specialised for precision movement or to store energy during …
