CONSIDERABLE efforts have been made, so far, to investigate the physico-chemical as well as the biochemical nature of soft tissue collagen such as skin and tendon, especially. In refs. 1–3 it is ...

The intramuscular tendon is composed primarily of type 1 collagen, organisationally more reticular ... resulting in formation of hypertrophic intramuscular tendon scar tissue. Retraction of the stumps ...

Bones are full of collagen, but as you get older, the protein starts to deteriorate -- and so does bone health -- leading to ...

This scar tissue, made mostly from the protein collagen, gives support and structure to the affected area. Scar tissue is thicker and more fibrous than normal skin, which is why it often looks and ...

This remarkable procedure allows us to detect and treat areas of “scar tissue” or adhesions in muscles, tendons and ligaments that can reduce our range of motion and cause pain. In the healing process ...

H arnessing nanoparticles to deliver drugs precisely to a surgically repaired tendon is a promising new approach that reduced scar tissue formation and improved mechanical function. Researchers ...
