The paper investigates the development of extraocular muscles, identifying retinoic acid's role in their formation and tendon attachment sites.

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.

The paper identifies a fibroblast-to-myoblast conversion driven by BMP signalling at the muscle-tendon interface during limb development.

This study shows that ADAMTSL2 deletion in limb soft tissues, particularly tendons, causes disproportionate limb shortening by affecting tendon growth and fibrillin microfibril formation, suggesting a new mechanism for geleophysic dysplasia.

The paper identifies the developmental transition of entheses from embryonic to mature states, showing that migrating entheses replace Sox9+ progenitors with Gli1 lineage cells.
