Tendon Stem Cell: A Possible Solution for Tendon Injury Repair and Aging
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tendon injuries due to misuse or overuse as well as agerelated degeneration are common clinical problems facing orthopedic surgeons and sports medicine clinicians. Following injury, tendons exhibit an ineffective repair response that is often characterized by scar formation. Severe tendon injuries often require surgical intervention, but the structure and function of repaired tendons remain inferior when compared to non-injured tendons [1]. The repair of injured tendons remains a great challenge, and becomes even more challenging in older patients. Currently, there are no therapies to restore the normal function and structure of injured tendons.
