Popis: Tendon self-renewal occurs rarely and reconstructive surgery comes with significant limitations. Here the authors present an induced pluripotent stem cell-based method to generate tenocytes, analyze their developmental trajectory using scRNA-seq, and demonstrate their contribution to motor function recovery after Achilles tendon injury via engraftment and paracrine effects.
