The interfascicular matrix of energy storing tendons houses heterogenous cell populations disproportionately affected by ageing
2023-01-04
Abstract excerpt
Energy storing tendons such as the human Achilles and equine superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) are prone to injury, with incidence increasing with ageing. The interfascicular matrix (IFM), which binds tendon fascicles, plays a key role in energy storing tendon mechanics, and ageing alterations to the IFM negatively impact tendon function. While the mechanical role of the IFM in tendon function is well-estab...
