Journal ArticleDOI
Electrospun nanofibers for regenerative medicine.
TL;DR: This Progress Report reviews recent progress in applying electrospun nanofibers to the emerging field of regenerative medicine and highlights applications of the nanofiber‐based scaffolds in four areas of regeneratives medicine that involve nerves, dural tissues, tendons, and the tendon‐to‐bone insertion site.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neer Award 1999: Overuse activity injures the supraspinatus tendon in an animal model: A histologic and biomechanical study
Louis J. Soslowsky,Stavros Thomopoulos,S. Tun,Colleen L. Flanagan,C.C. Keefer,J. Mastaw,James E. Carpenter +6 more
TL;DR: The findings support overuse activity as an etiologic factor in the development of supraspinatus tendinopathy and begin to describe the changes in the tendons as a result of such activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variation of biomechanical, structural, and compositional properties along the tendon to bone insertion site.
TL;DR: The tendon to bone insertion site varies dramatically along its length in terms of its viscoelastic properties, collagen structure, and extracellular matrix composition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of tendon injury and repair.
TL;DR: This review will describe the current state of knowledge of injury and repair of the three most common tendinopathies—flexor tendon lacerations, Achilles tendon rupture, and rotator cuff disorders—with a particular focus on the use of animal models for understanding tendon healing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tendon to bone healing: differences in biomechanical, structural, and compositional properties due to a range of activity levels.
TL;DR: The healing of the supraspinatus tendon to its bony insertion under a variety of loading conditions is described to describe the healing response and treatment modalities for rotator cuff tears can be developed.
