## Abstract Bioscaffolds have been successfully used to improve the healing of ligaments and tendons. In a rabbit model, the application of porcine small intestine submucosa (SIS) to the healing medial collateral ligament (MCL) resulted in improved mechanical properties with the formation of larger

## Abstract This study was carried out to quantify the potential associations between material strength and both collagen concentration and pyridinoline collagen crosslink density in the healing medial collateral ligament of the rabbit and to compare these parameters with those of normal ligaments.
## Abstract Numerous studies have demonstrated the capacity of mechanical strains to modulate cell behavior through several different signaling pathways. Understanding the response of ligament fibroblasts to mechanically induced strains may provide useful knowledge for treating ligament injury and
The purpose of this study was to compare the levels of procollagen type I messenger RNA (mRNA) in normal and healing medial collateral ligament (MCL) and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in a rabbit model. Our method of injury involved a surgical model with identical partial lacerations in the midsu
## Abstract The biomechanical, biochemical, and morphological properties of the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments are dramatically altered in response to deprivation of normal physical forces and joint motion. Integrin adhesion receptors are known to play important roles in the tiss
