Fibrochondrogenic differentiation potential of tendon-derived stem/progenitor cells from human patellar tendon

ConclusionTaken together, this study showed that TSPCs are capable of differentiating towards fibrocartilage-like cells, and the fibrochondrogenic characteristics were conserved even in vivo, and thus might have the potential application for fibrocartilage regeneration in BTJ repair.The translational potential of this articleTSPCs are able to differentiate into fibrocartilage-like cells and thus might well be one potential cell source for fibrocartilage regeneration in a damaged BTJ repair.
