The muscle-tendon interface is an anatomically specialized region that is involved in the
efficient transmission of force from muscle to tendon. Due to constant exposure to loading …

Elastic fibers are present in low quantities in tendon, where they are located both within
fascicles near tenocytes and more broadly in the interfascicular matrix (IFM). While elastic …

Tendon's primary function is a mechanical link between muscle and bone. The hierarchical
structure of tendon and specific compositional constituents are believed to be critical for …

Bionic lubricant materials are a class of materials inspired by natural organisms and offer
excellent lubrication properties and biocompatibility. In the field of sports medicine, their …

Tendon and ligament injuries are highly prevalent but heal poorly, even with proper care.
Restoration of native tissue function is complicated by the fact that these tissues vary …

The 2 primary factors leading to poor clinical results after intrasynovial tendon repair are
