Background: Tendon is composed of connective tissue, is able to retract with high tensile
force, and plays a significant role in musculoskeletal motion. However, inappropriate …

Tendon injury is a common disorder of the musculoskeletal system caused by overuse or
trauma. With increasing incidence of tendon injuries, it is necessary to find an effective …

Introduction 3. Tendons–Structure and Function 4. Tendon Disorders 5. Mesenchymal Stem
Cells 6. Mechanisms of action of MSCs 7. Enhancing Tendon Healing with MSCs 8. Key …

Tendon injuries are common and present a clinical challenge because they often respond
poorly to treatment and require prolonged rehabilitation. Current treatments often do not …

Tendon/ligament injuries are very common in sports and other rigorous activities. Tendons
regenerate and repair slowly and inefficiently in vivo after injury. The limited ability of tendon …

Tendons are associated with a high injury risk because of their overuse and age‐related
tissue degeneration. Thus, tendon injuries pose great clinical and economic challenges to …

Mesenchymal stem cells are multipotent stromal cells residing within the connective tissue of
most organs. Their surface phenotype has been well described. Most commonly …

Tendon tissues have limited healing capacity. The incidence of tendon injuries and the
unsatisfactory functional outcomes of tendon repair are driving the search for alternative …

Tendon injuries are common and present a clinical challenge, as they often respond poorly
to treatment and result in long-term functional impairment. Inferior tendon healing responses …

Tendon-derived stem cell (TDSC) is a subpopulation of residing stem cells within the intact
tendon tissues, with the capacities of self-renewal, clonogenicity, and three-lineage …
