Article Synopsis
- Tendons connect muscles to bones and are less capable of regenerating compared to muscles, with limited research on tendon regeneration.
- Sox9, a transcription factor important for cartilage formation, is critical in the early stages of tendon development, but its role in tendon healing after injury is not well understood.
- In a mouse model of Achilles tendon injury, Sox9 was found to be expressed during the healing process, suggesting it plays a significant role in restoring tendon function and may be linked to stem cells that begin expressing Sox9 post-injury.
