This study uses compartment-resolved proteomics to analyze changes in the tendon matrisome during postnatal maturation in mice, revealing distinct trajectories in soluble and insoluble ECM components.

This study identifies mechanotransduction pathways involved in chicken tendon development and shows how paralysis disrupts these processes.

The paper identifies transcriptional and epigenetic changes during postnatal tendon growth and highlights Yap1's role in ECM maturation.

This study investigates the structural determinants of tendon function during development and their sensitivity to mechanical stimulation, finding that intrafibrillar crosslink formation and fibril elongation are critical and mechanosensitive.

This study shows that mechanical stimulation via muscle activity is necessary for tendon maturation during embryonic development, as it affects both macroscale mechanics and microscale collagen structure.
