A tendon shows excellent advantages in transmitting large loads efficiently and also in storing elastic energy during locomotion possibly due to its hierarchical structure. Its fractal dimension is calculated, which is quite close to the golden mean, 1路618. The present study might provide a new ...
Underneath the paratenon, the hierarchical structure of tendon tissue consists of highly aligned fibrillar structures organized into bundles of increasing size (Fig. 1). The epitenon is the outermost wrapper of the assembly of bundles and stretches over the outside of the whole tendon. The epiten...
s hierarchical structure shown inFigure 9. Very schematically, the tendon consists of fibers and fascicles, which in turn are composed of collagen fibrils (Figure 9(a)). These fibrils have a diameter in the order of 50 to a few hundrednanometers. Their internal structure has been described ...

Tendons are a multi-unit hierarchical structure composed of collagen molecules, fibrils, and fascicles that run parallel to its long axis [15]. Tenoblasts and tenocytes, constitute about 90% of the cellular elements of a tendon [16,17,18] (Table 1). The other 10% is composed of chondrocy...
which creates a relatively proregenerative environment. To further optimize the formulation of a scaffold to better bridge the broken ends for recruiting endogenous TSPCs for tendon regeneration, a hierarchical anisotropic polylactic glycolic acid/collagen (PLGA/COL) scaffold with aligned topography was fa...
It represents a multihierarchical structure as it contains collagen molecules arranged in fibrils then grouped in fibril bundles, fascicles and fiber bundles that are almost parallel to the long axis of the tendon, named as primary, secondary and tertiary bundles. Collagen fibrils in tendons show ...
tendonmechanical propertiesmusculoskeletal systemLigaments and tendons play an essential role in stability and motion in the musculoskeletal system with a complex multiple scale hierarchical structure of collagen fibres difficult to well model. In tissue engineering evaluation of native tissues, scaffolds, ...
This paper proposes the radial basis function neural network adaptive hierarchical sliding mode control (RBFNNA-HSMC) method, which combines the dynamic model of the elastic tendon-driven manipulator (ETDM) with radial basis neural network adaptive control and hierarchical sliding mode control technology...
