Tendon failure: Disruption of ECM homeostasis.
Creator

Description
Tendon failure, characterized by the breakdown of structural integrity and function, often stems from the disruption of Extracellular Matrix (ECM) homeostasis. The ECM plays a pivotal role in maintaining tendon strength, elasticity, and overall biomechanical properties. When homeostasis is compromised, alterations in collagen organization, proteoglycan content, and tenocyte activity occur, impacting tendon structural integrity. Overloading, repetitive stress, aging, or inadequate repair processes can lead to ECM imbalances, weakening tendon resilience and predisposing it to failure. Understanding and addressing these disruptions through targeted interventions, such as exercise protocols, nutritional support, or regenerative therapies, are crucial for mitigating tendon failure risks.
