Tendon injuries are common and can dramatically impair patient mobility and productivity,
resulting in a significant socioeconomic burden and reduced quality of life. Because the …

The high incidence of degenerative tears and prevalence of retears (20–95%) after surgical
repair makes rotator cuff injuries a significant health problem. This high retear rate is …

Tendons are cable-like connective tissues that transfer both active and passive forces
generated by skeletal muscle to bone. In the mature skeleton, the tendon-bone enthesis is …

Rotator cuff tears are common and cause a great deal of lost productivity, pain, and
disability. Tears are typically repaired by suturing the tendon back to its bony attachment …

Background: Chronic rotator cuff tears present a clinical challenge, often with poor outcomes
after surgical repair. Degenerative changes to the muscle, tendon, and bone are thought to …

Background Chronic massive rotator cuff tears heal poorly and often retear. This study
investigated the effect of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and transforming growth factor …

Introduction Healing tissue of the rotator cuff does not regenerate the native enthesis;
fibrovascular scar tissue is formed instead and this has less favourable biomechanical …

The spatiotemporal interaction and constant iterative feedback between fibroblasts,
extracellular matrix, and environmental cues are central for investigating the fibroblast …

Supraspinatus (SS) tendon tears are common musculoskeletal injuries whose surgical
repair exhibits the highest incidence of re‐tear of any tendon. Development of therapeutics …

Background: Rotator cuff tears are a common source of pain and disability, and poor healing
after repair leads to high retear rates. Bone loss in the humeral head before and after repair …
