The Micromechanical Environment of the Impinged Achilles Tendon Insertion

Abstract: Mechanical deformation applied to tendon at the tissue-scale is transferred to the microscale — including the extracellular matrix (ECM), the pericellular matrix (PCM), the cell and the nucleus — through a process known as strain transfer. Microscale strains, in turn, trigger biological activity that plays an important role in the maintenance of tendon phenotype and homeostasis. Although tendon predominantly experiences longitudinal tensile forces, transverse forces due to bony impingement have been implicated… Show more
