Proteomic analysis of scleraxis mutant tendon

ABSTRACT: Tendons play fundamental role in the musculoskeletal system and locomotion by transferring forces generated by muscles to the skeleton. Tendon injuries can occur due to sports related incidents, as a result of trauma to overuse or during disease or ageing and are among the leading causes of musculoskeletal disability. Scleraxis is a marker of the tendon lineage and appears to be induced at the earliest stage of specification of this lineage, however little is known how scleraxis is modulating tendon growth activity. This study aimed to investigate how scleraxis modulates tendon cells activity.
