Tendon overload results in alterations in cell shape and increased markers of inflammation and matrix degradation (2015)
Journal Article
Thorpe, C. T., Chaudhry, S., Lei, I., Varone, A., Riley, G. P., Birch, H. L., …Screen, H. R. (2015). Tendon overload results in alterations in cell shape and increased markers of inflammation and matrix degradation. https://doi.org/10.1111/sms.12333

Tendon injury is thought to involve both damage accumulation within the matrix and an accompanying cell response. While several studies have characterized cell and matrix response in chronically injured tendons, few have assessed the initial response...

Tendon extracellular matrix damage, degradation and inflammation in response to in vitro overload exercise (2015)
Journal Article
Spiesz, E. M., Thorpe, C. T., Chaudhry, S., Riley, G. P., Birch, H. L., Clegg, P. D., & Screen, H. R. (2015). Tendon extracellular matrix damage, degradation and inflammation in response to in vitro overload exercise. Journal of Orthopaedic Research, 33(6), 889-97. https://doi.org/10.1002/jor.22879

The role of inflammation in tendon injury is uncertain and a topic of current interest. In vitro studies of tendon accelerated overload damage can serve as a valuable source of information on the early stages of tendinopathy. Viable fascicle bundles...
