Traditionally, tendons are considered to only contain tenocytes that are responsible for the
maintenance, repair and remodeling of tendons. Stem cells, which are termed tendon …

Tendon stem cells are multi‐potent adult stem cells with broad differentiation plasticity that
render them of great importance in cell‐based therapies for the repair of tendons. We called …

The efficacy of tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs) for the promotion of tendon and tendon-
bone junction repair has been reported in animal studies. Modulation of the tendon stem cell …

Tendon harbors a cell population that possesses stem cell characteristics such as
clonogenicity, multipotency and self-renewal capacity, commonly referred to as tendon …

Background Tendons are traditionally thought to consist of tenocytes only, the resident cells
of tendons; however, a recent study has demonstrated that human and mouse tendons also …

Tendon injury is one of the prevalent disorders of the musculoskeletal system in orthopedics
