Material Stiffness in Cooperation with Macrophage Paracrine Signals Determines the Tenogenic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells [PDF]
Stiffness is an important physical property of biomaterials that determines stem cell fate. Guiding stem cell differentiation via stiffness modulation has been considered in tissue engineering. However, the mechanism by which material stiffness regulates

Differential Smad2/3 linker phosphorylation is a crosstalk mechanism of Rho/ROCK and canonical TGF-β3 signaling in tenogenic differentiation [PDF]
The transforming growth factor (TGF)-β3 is a well-known inducer for tenogenic differentiation, signaling via the Smad2/3 pathway. Furthermore, other factors like extracellular matrix or mechanical force can induce tenogenic differentiation and possibly ...

Dexamethasone Is Not Sufficient to Facilitate Tenogenic Differentiation of Dermal Fibroblasts in a 3D Organoid Model [PDF]
Self-assembling three-dimensional organoids that do not rely on an exogenous scaffold but maintain their native cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix interactions represent a promising model in the field of tendon tissue engineering.

Current concepts on tenogenic differentiation and clinical applications [PDF]
Tendon is a tissue that transmits force from muscle to bone. Chronic or acute tendon injuries are very common, and are always accompanied by pain and a limited range of motion in patients. In clinical settings, management of tendon injuries still remains

Tendon Biomimetic Electrospun PLGA Fleeces Induce an Early Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Tenogenic Differentiation on Amniotic Epithelial Stem Cells [PDF]
Background. The design of tendon biomimetic electrospun fleece with Amniotic Epithelial Stem Cells (AECs) that have shown a high tenogenic attitude may represent an alternative strategy to overcome the unsatisfactory results of conventional treatments in

Circ_0005736 promotes tenogenic differentiation of tendon-derived stem cells through the miR-636/MAPK1 axis [PDF]
Background Tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs) are one of stem cells characterized by greater clonogenicity, tenogenesis, and proliferation capacity. Circ_0005736 has been shown to be decreased in Rotator cuff tendinopathy.
