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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

Two new discoveries led by Cedars-Sinai investigators show stem cell therapies can help accelerate and promote the healing of bone and tendon injuries. In the first study, published in the Journal of ...

Researchers have now identified the molecular mechanism that triggers tendinopathy, paving the way for new and improved ...

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 ...
