This study shows that denervation in neonatal mice impairs musculoskeletal growth, altering cell proliferation and mechanotransduction gene programs in tendons and muscles.

This study uses FLARE-ExM to examine changes in tendon cellular and extracellular structures under healthy and perturbed conditions, revealing structural alterations in response to mechanical stress.

This study identifies age-dependent chromatin remodeling in tendon cells that enhances inflammatory responses and contributes to tendon degeneration.

This paper identifies Prg4+ fibro-adipogenic progenitors in muscle as critical for bone fracture repair by transforming into bone cells and promoting healing.

This study examines mechanical forces during murine tendon development, finding that increased movement correlates with upregulation of Scx and Tnmd.

This study tracks meniscus maturation in mice, showing that specialized cellular and matrix features emerge before birth and are refined during postnatal growth.
