Tendon is an intricately organized connective tissue that efficiently transfers muscle force to
the bony skeleton. Its structure, function, and physiology reflect the extreme, repetitive …

Adenomyosis is a common disorder of the uterus, and is associated with an enlarged uterus,
heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), pelvic pain, and infertility. It is characterized by …

The intrinsic pathogenetic mechanisms of tendinopathies are largely unknown and whether
inflammation or degeneration has the prominent role is still a matter of debate. Assuming …

Transcriptional regulation contributes to the maintenance of pluripotency, self-renewal and
differentiation in embryonic cells and in stem cells. Therefore, control of gene expression at …

Adenomyosis is used to be called endometriosis interna, and deep endometriosis is now
called adenomyosis externa. Thus, there is a question as to whether adenomyosis is simply …

Introduction This study presents a unifying concept of the pathophysiology of endometriosis
and adenomyosis. In particular, a physiological model is proposed that provides a …

The purpose of the current review is to highlight the structure‐function relationship of
tendons and related structures to provide an overview for readers whose interest in tendons …

The adaptive response of connective tissue to loading requires increased synthesis and
turnover of matrix proteins, with special emphasis on collagen. Collagen formation and …

The foreign body response impedes the function and longevity of implantable drug delivery
devices. As a dense fibrotic capsule forms, integration of the device with the host tissue …

Mechanical cues affect tendon healing, homeostasis, and development in a variety of
settings. Alterations in the mechanical environment are known to result in changes in the …
