RISMultiscale Poroviscoelastic Compressive Properties of Mouse Supraspinatus Tendons Are Altered in Young and Aged Mice
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Rotator cuff disorders are one of the most common causes of shoulder pain and disability in the aging population but, unfortunately, the etiology is still unknown. One factor thought to contribute to the progression of ...
Aged Tendons Exhibit Altered Mechanisms of Strain-Dependent Extracellular Matrix Remodeling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Aging is a primary risk factor for degenerative tendon injuries, yet the etiology and progression of this degeneration are poorly understood. While aged tendons have innate cellular differences that support a reduced ability ...
Effect of Age and Proteoglycan Deficiency on Collagen Fiber Re Alignment and Mechanical Properties in Mouse Supraspinatus Tendon
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Collagen fiber realignment is one mechanism by which tendon responds to load. Realignment is altered when the structure of tendon is altered, such as in the natural process of aging or with alterations of matrix proteins, ...
Tensile Mechanical Properties and Dynamic Collagen Fiber Re-Alignment of the Murine Cervix Are Dramatically Altered Throughout Pregnancy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The cervix is a unique organ able to dramatically change its shape and function by serving as a physical barrier for the growing fetus and then undergoing dramatic dilation allowing for delivery of a term infant. As a ...
