Tendon and Motor Phenotypes in the Crtap-/- Mouse Model of Recessive Osteogenesis Imperfecta

This study examines tendon and motor phenotypes in Crtap-/- mice, finding thinner tendons, altered collagen structure, and motor impairments linked to tendon/ligament dysfunction in OI.

Rcn3 is Involved in Postnatal Tendon Development by Regulating Collagen Modification and Fibrillogenesis

This study shows that Rcn3 regulates collagen modification and fibrillogenesis in postnatal tendon development, affecting tendon structure and mechanical properties.

Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2 (Ezh2) is essential for patterning of multiple musculoskeletal tissues but dispensable for tendon differentiation

This study investigates the role of Ezh2 in musculoskeletal development, showing it is essential for patterning muscles and skeleton but not required for tendon differentiation.
