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

This study shows that limb lengthening in humans causes significant changes in muscle force-length properties, with lengthened muscles being longer, stiffer, and weaker than the non-lengthened side.

This study develops an automated ultrasound tracking algorithm to assess regional strain in Achilles tendons during fatigue loading, finding that maximum and average strain diverge between survived and ruptured tendons.

This study develops a method to quantify subtendon sliding in the Achilles tendon using ultrasound and electrical stimulation, finding differential displacement patterns based on stimulated muscle.
