Tendon the presence of denatured collagen are factors that are believed to cause weakening of the tendon ECM and an increase in the potential for another rupture to occur. In response to repeated mechanical loading or injury, cytokines may be released by tenocytes and can induce the release of MMPs, causing degradation of the ECM and leading to recurring injury and chronic tendinopathies. A variety of other molecules are involved in tendon repair and regeneration. There are five growth factors that have been shown to be significantly upregulated and active during tendon healing: insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I), platelet-derived growth factor
Inelastic scattering reaction will be inelastic, but the term inelastic scattering is reserved for those collisions which do "not" result in reactions. There is a transfer of energy between the translational mode (kinetic energy) and rotational and vibrational modes. If the transferred energy is small compared to the incident energy of the scattered particle, one speaks of quasielastic scattering. Inelastic scattering In chemistry, nuclear physics, and particle physics, inelastic scattering is a fundamental scattering process in which the kinetic energy of an incident particle is not conserved (in contrast to elastic scattering). In an inelastic scattering process, some of the energy of
