A method, described for obtaining of 14C-collagen from chicken embryo tendons, permitted to isolate the highly purified native substrate with high specific radioactivity applied to estimation of animal collagenases activity. The method is relatively simple, reproducible, does not require large amount of labelled amino acids; it shortens the course of protein purification.

As a ubiquitous feature of the biological world, gradation, in either composition or structure, is essential to many functions and processes. Taking protein gradation as an example, it plays a pivotal role in the development and evolution of human bodies, including stimulation and direction of the outgrowth of peripheral nerves in a developing fetus. It is also critically involved in wound healing by attracting and guiding immune cells to the site of injury or infection.

Background: Little information is available on the embryology of the structures that connect the lateral meniscus to its nearby structures (proximal tibia, fibular head, and popliteus tendon), which restrict lateral meniscal extrusion.
Purpose: To describe the menisco-tibio-popliteus-fibular complex (MTPFC)-conformed by the lateral meniscotibial ligament (LMTL), popliteofibular ligament, meniscofibular ligament, and the 2 popliteomeniscal ligaments (superior and inferior)-and anterolateral ligament (ALL) of the knee in human embryos/fetuses from weeks 9 to 37 of gestation.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how tendon maturation into strong tissue is regulated, noting significant mechanical property changes in chick embryos between days E16 and E18, but lacking clarity on the underlying cellular and molecular factors.
- - Researchers analyzed late tendon development by examining collagen fiber alignment, cell organization, and Yap pathway activity, assessing the impact of both constant loading and no loading on tendon maturation.
- - Findings revealed that YAP signaling is influenced by movement, with collagen alignment improving under static loading; however, immobilization disrupted the organized structure of tendon cells, highlighting the importance of dynamic stimulation for proper tendon development.

Skeletal muscle formation involves tight interactions between muscle cells and associated connective tissue fibroblasts. Every muscle displays the same type of organisation, they are innervated in the middle and attached at both extremities to tendons. Myonuclei are heterogeneous along myotubes and regionalised according to these middle and tip domains.

Background: Tendinopathy is a chronic tendon disease. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), known for their anti-inflammatory properties, may lose effectiveness with extensive culturing. Previous research introduced "small umbilical cord-derived fast proliferating cells" (smumf cells), isolated using a novel minimal cube explant method.
