Sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), along with the proteoglycan aggrecan, are known to increase with tendon pathology, indicating a shift of tenocytes towards a chondroïd phenotype. It could be ...

The aim of this work was to investigate whether in patellar tendinopathy there is a change in the gene expression of the matrix proteinases involved in proteoglycan catabolism including the MMPs and ...
