Harnessing nanoparticles to deliver drugs precisely to a surgically repaired tendon is a promising new approach that reduced scar tissue formation and improved mechanical function in a study appearing ...

Long overlooked in the field of musculoskeletal study, the tendon is a highly complex anatomical structure that triggers a dynamic but mysterious cellular response when it's injured. In a new study in ...

In a first, scientists manipulate individual cells to help the body repair tendon after surgery. Long overlooked in the field of musculoskeletal study, the tendon is a highly complex anatomical ...

Tendon injuries in sheep that were treated with stem cell grafts achieved, in just two months, a diameter and hardness similar to the original healthy tendon, according to the results of a study ...

Durham, NC – Tendon injuries in sheep that were treated with stem cell grafts achieved, in just two months, a diameter and hardness similar to the original healthy tendon, according to the results of ...

Tendon injuries are painful and don’t always heal properly. Researchers at the Terasaki Institute have now shown that silk scaffolds loaded with stem cells can help tendons regenerate more effectively ...

Generally, tendon injuries are caused due to trauma or gradual wear and tear from overuse or aging. Structurally, tendons—as well as their associated extracellular matrices—are comprised of ...

Tendon healing and regeneration represent critical yet complex areas of musculoskeletal research. Damage to tendons, whether due to acute trauma or chronic overuse, initiates a cascade of biological ...

Researchers at CÚRAM, the SFI Research Centre for Medical Devices based at NUI Galway, have shown how the simple act of walking can power an implantable stimulator device to speed up treatment of ...

Whether it’s a season-ending Achilles rupture by pro footballer Aaron Rodgers or an everyday workplace accident, tendon injuries are common and can be life-changing. They require 300,000 surgeries per ...
