Rotator cuff tendons of the shoulder joint : anatomy and investigation of strain profile by Sheng, Jia-Min

“…It was shown that double-row repairs restored the strains to the intact strain condition and thus may be more efficient for tendon healing than single-row repairs. Elevation of arm at higher angles should be avoided after surgical repairs due to the high differential strains between the two surfaces of the supraspinatus. …”

Osmotic gradients induce bio-reminiscent morphological transformations in giant unilamellar vesicles by Oglęcka, Kamila, Sanborn, Jeremy, Parikh, Atul N., Kraut, Rachel S.

“…The repertoire of membrane deformations we observe display striking resemblance to their biological counterparts in live cells encompassing vesiculation, membrane fission and fusion, tubulation and pearling, as well as expulsion of entrapped vesicles from multicompartmental giant unilamellar vesicles through large, self-healing transient pores. These observations suggest that the forces introduced by simple osmotic gradients across membrane boundaries could act as a trigger for shape-dependent membrane and vesicle trafficking activities. …”
