Lineage tracing of resident tendon progenitor cells during growth and natural healing.

Lineage tracing of resident tendon progenitor cells during growth and natural healing.

Unlike during embryogenesis, the identity of tissue resident progenitor cells that contribute to postnatal tendon growth and natural healing is poorly characterized. Therefore, we utilized 1) an inducible Cre driven by alpha smooth muscle actin (SMACreERT2), that identifies mesenchymal progenitors,...
