Abstract: Tendons are involved in multiple disorders and injuries, ranging from birth deformities to tendinopathies to acute ruptures. The ability to characterize embryonic tendon mechanical properties will enable elucidation of mechanisms responsible for functional tendon formation.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/cpf.12472
Abstract: Tendons are viscoelastic, which implies loading rate dependency, but loading rates of contractions are often not controlled during assessment of human tendon mechanical properties in vivo. We investigated the effects of sustained submaximal isometric plantarflexion… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.945639
Abstract: Tendon mechanical properties are significantly compromised in adult tendon injuries, tendon-related birth defects, and connective tissue disorders. Unfortunately, there currently is no effective treatment to restore native tendon mechanical properties after postnatal tendon injury or… read more here.
