Abstract:
Severe tendon injury will impair the mobility and quality of life of ordinary patients and come as a major blow to the career of professional athletes. As the current surgical treatment of tendon injury cannot achieve satisfactory results, the injury is still challenging for clinicians. The discovery of tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs) and the continuous in-depth study of them provide a new direction for tendon repair and regeneration, and promote the continuous development of tendon tissue engineering. This article systematically summarizes the characteristics, aging, isolation and culture of TSPCs in tendon repair, and progress in their related applications as well. The research direction of TSPCs is also analyzed and prospected.
