Objective: To advance the understanding of how alterations in exercise speed and grade (flat vs 17° incline or decline) affect the quality of tendon healing, and to determine if a biomarker relationship exists between serum levels of a ColX breakdown product (CXM) and animals exposed to treadmill running protocols.
Animals: 35 male mice (C57BL/6J), 8 weeks of age.
Procedures: Mice were preconditioned on a treadmill for 14 days. Tendinopathy was then induced by 2 intra-tendinous TGFβ1 injections followed by randomization into 7 exercise groups. Exercise capacity and objective gait analysis were measured weekly. Mice were euthanized and histopathologic analysis and evaluation of serum CXM levels were performed. Statistics were conducted using a 2-way ANOVA (exercise capacity), Mixed Effects Model (gait analysis, effect of preconditioning), and 1-way ANOVA (gait analysis, the effect of injury, and rehabilitation normalized to baseline; CXM serum analysis), all with Tukey post hoc tests and significance set to P < .05.
Results: Exercise at a fast-flat speed demonstrated inferior tendinopathic healing at the cellular level and impaired stance braking abilities, which were compensated for by increased propulsion. Mice exposed to exercise (at any speed or grade) demonstrated higher systemic levels of CXM than those that were cage rested. However, no ColX immunostaining was observed in the Achilles tendon or calcaneal insertion.
Clinical Relevance: Exercise at a fast speed and in absence of eccentric loading components (incline or decline) demonstrated inferior tendinopathic healing at the cellular level and impaired braking abilities that were compensated for by increased propulsion.

Background: Shear wave elastography (SWE) is an emerging ultrasound-based technology that provides a quantitative assessment of musculoskeletal tissue integrity. This systematic review investigates the use of SWE in the evaluation of rotator cuff tears.
Methods: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Library databases were searched for relevant studies from 1901 up to June 2022.

Shoulder pain is a common musculoskeletal complaint, and rotator cuff (RC) pathologies are one of the main causes. The RC undergoes various tendinopathic and avascular changes during the aging process. Other degenerative changes affecting its healing potential make it an appealing target for biological agents.

Tendon afflictions constitute a significant share of musculoskeletal diseases and represent a primary cause of incapacity worldwide. Unresolved/chronic inflammatory states have been associated with the onset and progression of tendon disorders, contributing to undesirable immune stimulation and detrimental tissue effects. Thus, targeting persistent inflammatory events could assist important developments to solve pathophysiological processes and innovative therapeutics to address impaired healing and accomplish complete tendon regeneration.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of triiodothyronine (T3) on tendon specific markers and cytokines expression of stem cells extracted from human tendons. Indeed, thyroid hormones have been reported to be protective factors, maintaining tendons' homeostasis, whereas tendinopathy is believed to be related to a failed healing response. Healthy and tendinopathic human tendons were harvested to isolate tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs).
