Tendon Stem Cells

Tendon stem cells are a type of mesenchymal stem cell found in tendon tissue. They can self-renew and differentiate into various cell types, including tenocytes, chondrocytes, osteocytes, and adipocytes. These cells are essential for maintaining tendon health and repairing injuries by promoting tissue regeneration and restoring biomechanical function. Abnormal differentiation may lead to tendon disorders. With strong regenerative potential, tendon stem cells are widely used in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and tendon-related research. Their unique properties make them a valuable resource for advanced tendon repair therapies.
