Abstract:
Fibrotic diseases account for an estimated 45% of the total number of deaths in the developed world (Wynn 2007). Tendons are an excellent model for studying the dysregulated response which leads to fibrosis, as tendons have an organized, parallel matrix, in which tissue defects could easily be distinguished. Wong et al. (2006b) demonstrated the presence of a bell-shaped region around sutures in tendons that was devoid of cells in histological sections. The mechanisms of the formation of this acellular zone, that was also noted in cornea and cartilage (Matsuda et al. 1999; Hunziker and Stähli 2

Abstract:
Collagenous tissues such as ligaments and tendons are viscoelastic materials. They exhibit a slow continuous increase in strain over time, or creep, when subjected to a constant stress and a slow continuous decrease in stress over time, or stress relaxation, when subjected to a constant strain. Moreover, the loading and unloading stress-strain curves are different when the tissues are subjected to cyclic loading, showing hysteresis and softening phenomena. The micro-structural origin of the viscoelasticity of these tissues is still unknown and the subject of debate among experts in biomechanic

Abstract:
The human Achilles tendon is the strongest tendon in the body, but it is also the tendon most prone to developing tendinopathy. Tendinopathy is a clinical term used to describe tendon pathology that presents clinically as a painful, thickened tendon with altered mechanical behaviour. The main conservative treatment for tendinopathy is exercise, typically in the form of calf muscle contractions. However calf exercises are likely to impose very different stresses and strains on the tendons of different individuals as a result of inter-subject variability in tendon geometry, tendon material prope

Tendons function to transmit the forces generated by muscle to bone, resulting in movement of a joint. However some tendons have more specialized functions.

Ruptured tendons heal faster if they are exposed to mechanical loading. Loading creates deformation of the extracellular matrix and cells, which give rise to intracellular signalling, increased gene expression and protein synthesis.

Post-tensioned segmental concrete bridges have been used in the United States since the mid 80's. Post-tensioning is very economical and efficient for bridges with very long spans. A segmental concrete bridge uses post-tensioning to connect concrete bridge segments and make a long span bridge. A problem that has occurred in some segmental concrete bridges is the corrosion of the post-tensioned strands. A tendon failure can be detrimental to service level bridge performance and reduce the flexural strength. The Varina-Enon Bridge has a history of corrosion related issues and the objective of t

Both types have proved to be a durable and economical form of construction. However, many bonded post-tensioned concrete bridges have exhibited rupture of their tendons due to corrosion.

Abstract:
Les travaux exposés dans cette thèse explorent les processus biologiques sous-tendant la formation des tendons et des tissus conjonctifs du système musculosquelettique. Comprendre les mécanismes de développement des tendons revêt une importance essentielle pour la santé publique, car les blessures tendineuses sont courantes et peuvent entraîner une invalidité significative, limitant la mobilité et la qualité de vie des individus. Les progrès dans ce domaine pourraient conduire à des avancées thérapeutiques permettant de traiter efficacement les lésions tendineuses et de favoriser leur guérison
