Journal Article
Clerici, M., Citro, V., Byrne, A. L., P. Dale, T., Boccaccini, A. R., Della Porta, G., …Forsyth, N. R. (2023). Endotenon-Derived Type II Tendon Stem Cells Have Enhanced Proliferative and Tenogenic Potential. International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 24(20), Article 15107. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms242015107

Tendon injuries caused by overuse or age-related deterioration are frequent. Incomplete knowledge of somatic tendon cell biology and their progenitors has hindered interventions for the effective repair of injured tendons. Here, we sought to compare...
