Human fetal progenitor tenocytes (hFPT) produced in defined cell bank systems have recently been characterized and qualified as potential therapeutic cell sources in tendon regenerative medicine. In view of further optimizing the manufacture of the cell-based active substance, the effects of hypoxic...
A tendon’s ordered extracellular matrix (ECM) is integral for transmitting force and highly prone to injury. Whether and how tendon cells, or tenocytes, embedded within this dense ECM mobilize and contribute to healing is unknown. Here, we identify a specialized Axin2+ tenocyte population in mouse a...
