Achilles tendons of MRL/MpJ mice show scar-mediated healing after tenotomy

Ningfeng Tang, Divya S. Sivalingam, Kimberly Wilson, Mehari M Weldemariam, Hongying Tian, Christoph Hart, Prishasai Ramnath, Jacob Glazier, Jie Jiang, Natalie L. Leong, Tao Lu Lowe, Maureen A. Kane, Masahiro Iwamoto, Catherine K. Kuo, Motomi Enomoto‐Iwamoto

This study compares tendon healing in MRL/MpJ and C57BL/6J mice after Achilles tenotomy, finding scar formation in MRL/MpJ mice and differences in ossification and signaling pathways.

Retinoid-impregnated nanoparticles enable control of bone growth by site-specific modulation of endochondral ossification in mice

Masatake Matsuoka, Kenta Uchibe, Ningfeng Tang, Hongying Tian, Akiko Suzuki, Takeshi Oichi, Yu Usami, Ivan S. Alferiev, Satoru Otsuru, Joshua M. Abzug, John E. Herzenberg, Maurizio Pacifici, Motomi Enomoto‐Iwamoto, Michael Chorny, Masahiro Iwamoto

This paper demonstrates that retinoid-impregnated nanoparticles can modulate bone growth by selectively targeting growth plates in mice, leading to localized changes in tibia length and angulation.

Nutrient-regulated dynamics of chondroprogenitors in the postnatal murine growth plate

Takeshi Oichi, Joe Kodama, Kimberly Wilson, Hongying Tian, Yuka Imamura Kawasawa, Yu Usami, Yasushi Oshima, Taku Saito, Sakae Tanaka, Masahiro Iwamoto, Satoru Otsuru, Motomi Enomoto‐Iwamoto

This study shows that nutrient availability regulates chondroprogenitor accumulation and differentiation in the growth plate, with IGF-1 promoting differentiation after nutrient recovery.
