## Abstract Previous tendon and ligament studies have demonstrated a role for mechanical loading in tissue homeostasis and healing. In uninjured musculoskeletal tissues, increased loading leads to an increase in mechanical properties, whereas decreased loading leads to a decrease in mechanical prop
## Abstract One proposed mechanism of tendon lengthening is the βsliding fibrilβ hypothesis, in which tendons lengthen through the sliding of discontinuous fibrils after release of decorinβfibronectin interfibrillar bonds. The pentapeptide NKISK has been reported to inhibit the binding of decorin,
