چکیده
ANATOMY CONNECTIVE TISSUE Connective tissue has two components: cells and intra-cellular matrix.(20) The cells in unspecialized connective tissue consist of fibroblasts, macrophages, plasma cells, mast cells, fat cells, and pigment cells. Fibroblasts, which are concerned with the production of the intracellular matrix, are the most numerous. They are very active during wound repair and multiply to produce large numbers of cells embedded in granulation tissue, a mixture of fibrous tissue and capillaries. Mesenchymal cells also can give rise to new generations of fibroblasts, or fibroblasts themselves act as stem cells. A specialized contractile fibroblast, the myofibroblast, is responsible for contraction of granulation tissue in wound healing.(12)

Syndecans in skeletal muscle development, regeneration and homeostasis.
Skeletal muscle is a highly dynamic tissue that can change in size in response to physiological demands and undergo successful regeneration even upon extensive injury. A population of resident stem cells, termed satellite cells, accounts for skeletal muscle plasticity, maintenance and regeneration. Mammalian satellite cells, generated from muscle precursor cells during development, are maintain...

متن کاملMolecular characterization and function of tenomodulin, a marker of tendons and ligaments that integrate musculoskeletal components
Tendons and ligaments are dense fibrous bands of connective tissue that integrate musculoskeletal components in vertebrates. Tendons connect skeletal muscles to the bone and function as mechanical force transmitters, whereas ligaments bind adjacent bones together to stabilize joints and restrict unwanted joint movement. Fibroblasts residing in tendons and ligaments are called tenocytes and liga...
متن کاملProteomic profiling of skeletal muscle plasticity.
One of the most striking physiological features of skeletal muscle tissues are their enormous capacity to adapt to changed functional demands. Muscle plasticity has been extensively studied by histological, biochemical, physiological and genetic methods over the last few decades. With the recent emergence of high-throughput and large-scale proteomic techniques, mass spectrometry-based surveys h...
متن کاملExploring the role of hypercholesterolemia in tendon health and repair.
High cholesterol remains a significant healthcare problem, as more than 13% of adults in the U.S. are affected by hypercholesterolemia. The detrimental effects the disease has on cardiovascular health are well-documented, but the effects on the musculoskeletal system, and more specifically on tendons, have not been thoroughly examined. This paper provides an overview of work performed in our la...
