Knowledge Archive: Share Studies and Insights

Hello Everyone,

I’m reaching out to you all with an idea that, with your help, could greatly benefit our community. Recognizing the depth of knowledge and experience here, I’d like to propose creating a central archive of all our resources.
This thread aims to collect important studies and discussions that many of us have found useful over the years.
My apologies if a similar initiative already exists here – I did some searching but couldn’t find any. If it does, please kindly point me in that direction

Your Contributions:

1. Link to Key Studies: Please share links or attachment to significant research papers, studies, or articles that have been instrumental in advancing our field. This includes groundbreaking research, comprehensive reviews, or any study that has served as a key reference within our community. Contributions of new studies are also highly appreciated.

2. Link to Foundational Threads: If there are specific discussions or threads within this forum that have been instrumental in shaping techniques or understanding, link them here. These could be threads where significant techniques were discussed, breakthroughs shared, or fundamental knowledge disseminated.

3. Brief Context: With each link, a short description or context would be highly appreciated. This will help everyone quickly grasp the relevance of each resource.

Important Note: To keep this thread as streamlined and user-friendly as possible, I kindly ask that we refrain from starting discussions or debates here. This thread is intended purely as a resource archive. For discussions, feel free to start or join threads elsewhere in the forum.

Objective: The goal is to create an organized, easy-to-navigate resource for both newcomers and long-standing members. This will be a living document, continually evolving with our growing knowledge and discoveries.

Thank you for considering to be a part of this initiative. Your expertise and contributions are what make this forum a rich and vibrant community.

Best regards,
Gains

The Mechanical Properties of Rat Tail Tendon’ by Bernard J. Rigby https://rupress .org/jgp/articl … 1804206/265.pdf

This study explores the behavior of rat tail tendon under varying strain rates and temperatures. It reveals that tendons can consistently return to their original length after extensions of up to 4%, and undergo significant mechanical changes above 37°C. These findings have implications for understanding tendon elasticity and guiding connective tissue disorder research.​

Yes, I have not only considered it, but have also started gathering resources. Perhaps I was a bit too eager to share the initial post. My goal was to present a clear, introductory post without an overload of links. Additionally, I wanted to first verify if a similar thread existed, as mentioned in my initial post.

I understand now that it may have been more helpful to include some foundational studies and discussions I’ve already compiled. My apologies, I’ll be updating the thread with these resources soon, once I’ve had the time to go through them
