Aging Biology of Bone-to-Tendon Healing and the Epigenetic Clock: A Biological-Age Readout of Rotator Cuff Healing Capacity

The “unexplained failure” of rotator cuff repair is multifactorial, but its structural endpoint is anatomically consistent, i.e., the failure of the tendon-to-bone interface (enthesis) to heal. The native enthesis is a four-zone fibrocartilaginous gradient that does not regenerat...
