Tendon and ligament injuries account for a substantial proportion of disorders in the
musculoskeletal system. While non-operative and operative treatment strategies have …

There is accumulating evidence of an increased incidence of tendon disorders in people
with diabetes mellitus. Diabetic tendinopathy is an important cause of chronic pain, restricted …

Regenerative medicine is a burgeoning interdisciplinary research field that can impact
healthcare by offering new therapeutic strategies to replace or regenerate human cells …

Background aims After injury, tendons often heal with poor tissue quality and inferior
mechanical properties. Tissue engineering using tendon stem cells (TSCs) is a promising …

Tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs) are considered promising seed cells for tendon
regeneration. Previous studies reported that a low seeding density favors TSPC growth …

The association of tendinopathy with diabetes has been well recognized. Tendon
stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs) play critical roles in tendon repair, regeneration, and …

Ligament tissue rupture is a common sport injury. Although current treatment modalities can
achieve appropriate reconstruction of the damaged ligament, they present significant …

Diabetic calcific tendinopathy is the leading cause of chronic pain, mobility restriction, and
tendon rupture in patients with diabetes. Tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs) have been …

Tendons and ligaments exhibit limited regenerative capacity following injury, with damaged
tissue being replaced by a fibrotic scar. The physiological role of scar tissue is complex and …

Tendon injuries are common orthopedic problems which may cause severe morbidity. MSCs
