Cultivation of highly elongated and aligned cardiomyocyte constructs can potentially lead to a highly structured and functional cardiac tissue. Furthermore, highly organized cell arrays can be utilized in other tissues of elongated cell phenotype such as nerves, tendons and ligaments. Ongoing work is ...
Joint motion is provided by the muscles that are attached to the bone with tendons. Strong flexible ligaments connected across the bones stabilize the joint and may constrain its motion. Different ranges of motion result from several basic types of diarthrodial joints: pivot, gliding, hinge, ...

Immobility of the metacarpophalangeal (M.P.) joints and post-burn swelling with the deposit of oedema fluid about the ligamentous tissues and the extensor tendons lead to adhesions of the extensor mechanism, to contracture and adhesions of the collateral ligaments, or to thickening of the entire...
