background anterior cruciate ligament (acl) injury is the most common sports injury in both athletes and nonathletes; it can cause disability if not treated correctly. in cases with minor injuries, conservative treatments suffice. but, in cases with acl tear, surgery by different methods and autografts are indicated. the most prevalent method for acl reconstruction is the use of hamstring tendo...

We hypothesized that the transplantation of Scx-transduced tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs) promoted better tendon repair compared to the transplantation of mock-transduced cells. This study thus aimed to investigate the effect of Scx transduction on the expression of lineage markers in TDSCs and the effect of the resulting cell line in the promotion of tendon repair. Rat non-GFP or GFP-TDSCs ...

INTRODUCTION Although patellar tendon injuries are common but chronic patellar tendon rupture are rare injuries but severely disabling. Problems associated with this injury are scar formation, atrophy and contracture of the quadriceps, poor quality of remaining reabsorbed tendon, inadequate soft tissue, proximal patellar migration and prolonged post operative immobilization. Hence these injurie...
