A tendon transfers force from the contracting muscle to the skeletal system to produce
movement and is therefore a crucial component of the entire muscle‐tendon complex and its …

Tendons are soft, fibrous tissues that connect muscle to bone. Their main function is to
transfer muscle generated force to the bony skeleton, facilitating movement around a joint …

Tendon injuries cause prolonged disability and never recover completely. Current
mechanistic understanding of tendon regeneration is limited. Here, we use single-cell …

Osteoarthritis (OA) induces inflammation and degeneration of all joint components including
cartilage, joint capsule, bone and bone marrow, and ligaments. Particularly intraarticular …

Tendon and ligament injuries caused by trauma and degenerative diseases are frequent
and affect diverse groups of the population. Such injuries reduce musculoskeletal …

Tendon aging is associated with an increasing prevalence of tendon injuries and/or chronic
tendon diseases, such as tendinopathy, which affects approximately 25% of the adult …

Tendon injuries are common diseases. The healing capacity of tendon is limited due to its
special composition of extra-cellular matrix and hypocellularity and hypovascularity. The …

Tendons are unique connective tissues in the sense that their biological properties are
largely determined by their tendon‐specific stem cells, extracellular matrix (ECM) …

Background: Bone marrow aspirate is a primary source for cell-based therapies with
increasing value in the world of orthopaedic surgery, especially in revision cases of tendon …

Bioreactors are powerful tools with the potential to model tissue development and disease in
vitro. For nearly four decades, bioreactors have been used to create tendon and ligament …
