Cell-cell interactions and matrix deposition in tendon development in vitro and in vivo
Tendons transmit tensile load from skeletal muscles to bone. They fundamentally consist of densely packed longitudinal collagen fibres separated by rows of tendon fibroblasts. The cells have extensive cell-cell contacts, longitudinally within the rows and between rows via cell processes. This thesis...
