Tendon stem cells can revolutionise injury recovery: Study

New Delhi, Dec 10 (ANI): A new research has revealed the existence of tendon stem cells that can potentially be harnessed to improve tendon healing and even to avoid surgery. The research was led by Carnegie's Chen-Ming Fan and published in the journal of Nature Cell Biology. Fan explained, "Tendons are the connective tissue that tethers our muscles to our bones, they improve our stability and facilitate the transfer of force that allows us to move. But they are also particularly susceptible to injury and damage."
