Physiological load via voluntary wheel running maintains Achilles tendon homeostasis by region-specific cellular responses

This study shows that voluntary wheel running induces region-specific cellular responses in mouse Achilles tendon that maintain homeostasis by altering collagen fibril size and gene expression.

Loss of Cochlin drives impairments in tendon structure and function

This study shows that loss of Cochlin leads to structural and functional impairments in tendons, highlighting its role in maintaining tendon homeostasis.
