Hierarchical Hydrogel Composite Interfaces with Robust Mechanical Properties for Biomedical Applications
Yuting Zhu, Qiang Zhang, Xiaoli Shi, Dong HanThis review summarizes advances in hydrogel composites, materials designed to mimic the body's extracellular matrix (ECM). Cells naturally sense and respond to the mechanical properties and physical structure of the ECM…

Role of Extracellular Matrix in Adaptation of Tendon and Skeletal Muscle to Mechanical Loading
MICHAEL KJÆRThis review discusses how the extracellular matrix (ECM), particularly collagen, adapts to mechanical loading in tendons and muscles. Physical activity stimulates both the creation and breakdown of collagen, a process e…

THE INFLUENCE OF MECHANICAL FORCES ON THE GLYCOSAMINOGLYCAN CONTENT OF THE RABBIT FLEXOR DIGITORUM PROFUNDUS TENDON
GERALD C GILLARD, HELEN C REILLY, PAUL G BELL-BOOTH, MICHAEL H FLINTIn this animal study on rabbits, researchers surgically altered the mechanical forces on a deep finger flexor tendon to observe how the tissue adapted. They analyzed how the content of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs)—molecule…
