Purpose Of Review: This review seeks to provide an overview of the role of inflammation and metabolism in tendon cell function, tendinopathy, and tendon healing. We have summarized the state of knowledge in both tendon and enthesis.
Recent Findings: Recent advances in the field include a substantial improvement in our understanding of tendon cell biology, including the heterogeneity of the tenocyte environment during homeostasis, the diversity of the cellular milieu during in vivo tendon healing, and the effects of inflammation and altered metabolism on tendon cell function in vitro. In addition, the mechanisms by which altered systemic metabolism, such as diabetes, disrupts tendon homeostasis continue to be better understood. A central conclusion of this review is the critical need to better define fundamental cellular and signaling mechanisms of inflammation and metabolism during tendon homeostasis, tendinopathy, and tendon healing in order to identify therapies to enhance or maintain tendon function.

Mechanical stress modulates bone formation and organization of the extracellular matrix (ECM), the interaction of which affects heterotopic ossification (HO). However, the mechanically sensitive cell populations in HO and the underlying mechanism remain elusive. Here, we show that the mechanical protein Polysyctin-1 (PC1, Pkd1) regulates CTSK lineage tendon-derived mesenchymal stem cell (TDMSC) fate and ECM organization, thus affecting HO progression.

Obesity is one of the most common chronic diseases seen in children and adolescents. This study aims to examine the impact of obesity on body composition, assessed by sonographic and anthropometric measurements, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in adolescents.Anthropometric measurements, sonographic measurements of subcutaneous fat, quadriceps muscle, Achilles tendon thickness, and HRQoL were performed in children between 12-18 years of age.

Inadequate tendon healing and heterotopic bone formation result in substantial pain and disability, yet the specific cells responsible for tendon healing remain uncertain. Here we identify a CD26 tendon stem/progenitor cells residing in peritendon, which constitutes a primitive stem cell population with self-renewal and multipotent differentiation potentials. CD26 tendon stem/progenitor cells migrate into the tendon midsubstance and differentiation into tenocytes during tendon healing, while ablation of these cells led to insufficient tendon healing.

Background: Rotator cuff repairs may fail because of compromised blood supply, suture anchor pullout, or poor fixation to bone. To augment the repairs and promote healing of the tears, orthobiologics, such a platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and biologic scaffolds have been applied with mixed results. Adipose allograft matrix (AAM), which recruits native cells to damaged tissues, may also be a potential treatment for rotator cuff tears.

Slimmer's paralysis is a peripheral mononeuropathy of the common peroneal (fibular) nerve (CPN/CFN), typically associated with rapid weight loss resulting in loss of subcutaneous fat pad and subsequent neural compression at the fibular head. Here, we describe a young man with a 1-year history of right-sided foot drop, which developed following a rapid intentional weight loss of 11 kg over a period of 15 days. This weight loss was preceded by rapid weight gain over 2 days owing to binge eating.
