The developing tendon and enthesis are hypoxic and rely on hypoxia-inducible factor 1a (Hif1a) during postnatal development

Steph S. Steltzer, Nicole Migotsky, T. Phillips…·Megan Leigh Killian

This study shows that the postnatal tendon enthesis remains hypoxic and requires Hif1a for cell survival, ECM organization, and structural integrity.

Functional Changes to Achilles Tendon and Enthesis in a Mouse Model of an Adolescent Masculine Gender-Affirming Hormone Treatment

LeeAnn A. Hold, Tessa Phillips, Paige Cordts…·Megan Leigh Killian

This study examines how puberty suppression and testosterone affect Achilles tendon and enthesis properties in a mouse model of transmasculine gender-affirming hormone therapy, finding improved load capacity and increased cell density with GnRHa treatment.

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is essential for tendon homeostasis and prevents premature senescence and ectopic calcification

LeeAnn A. Hold, Nicole Migotsky, Syeda N. Lamia…·Adam C. Abraham

This study shows AMPK1 is essential for tendon health, preventing senescence and calcification through metabolic regulation and ECM remodeling.
