Tendon is a crucial component of the musculoskeletal system. Tendons connect muscle to
bone and transmit forces to produce motion. Chronic and acute tendon injuries are very …

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 …

CM Bleakley, 1, 3 P Glasgow, 2, 3 DC MacAuley 4 adverse changes to tissue biomechanics
and morphology. Progressive mechanical loading is more likely to restore the strength and …

Tendons are dense connective tissues with a hierarchical polarized structure that respond to
and adapt to the transmission of muscle contraction forces to the skeleton, enabling motion …

Tendons and ligaments are extracellular matrix (ECM)-rich structures that interconnect
muscles and bones. Recent work has shown how tendon fibroblasts (tenocytes) interact with …

Although the transcription factor EGR1 is known as NGF1-A, TIS8, Krox24, zif/268, and
ZENK, it still has many fewer names than biological functions. A broad range of signals …

Mechanical loading constantly acts on tendons, and a better understanding of its effects on
the tendons is essential to gain more insights into tendon patho-physiology. This study aims …

Mechanical forces between cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) influence cell shape and
function. Tendons are ECM-rich tissues connecting muscles with bones that bear extreme …

This review highlights recent research on Achilles tendon healing, and comments on the
current clinical controversy surrounding the diagnosis and treatment of injury. The processes …
