Extracellular integration of a cohesive myotendinous junction

NIH grant awarded to University of Colorado for research on the myotendinous junction, investigating extracellular matrix and mechanical forces to improve muscle-tendon integration and repair.

Description

This NIH research grant focuses on the biomechanics and tissue engineering of the myotendinous junction, aiming to identify the role of the extracellular matrix and mechanical loading in establishing and maintaining the strong linkage between muscle and tendon. The study involves cellular and mechanical studies to understand and restore this critical tissue interface.
