This paper develops a human synovial tendon-on-a-chip model to study peritendinous adhesions and test anti-fibrotic drugs, showing IL-6 inhibition reduces fibrosis and adhesion formation.

This study shows that taurine transporter SLC6A6 promotes mesenchymal stromal cell function by supporting osteogenic differentiation and hematopoietic stem cell maintenance.

This paper introduces a deep learning model for automated joint space detection in micro-CT images of mouse paws, significantly improving segmentation accuracy compared to semi-automated methods.

This study shows that adding physiological flow to a human tendon-on-a-chip model increases endothelial activation and monocyte infiltration, highlighting the role of flow in immune cell interactions during inflammation.

This study shows that suppressing IKKβ/NF-κB in Scleraxis-lineage cells during tendon healing increases scar tissue and apoptosis.
