Gene expression markers of tendon fibroblasts in normal and diseased tissue compared to monolayer and three dimensional culture systems
26 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: There is a paucity of data regarding molecular markers that identify the phenotype of the tendon cell. This study aims to quantify gene expression markers that distinguish between tendon fibroblasts and other mesenchymal cells which may be used to investigate tenogenesis. METHODS: Expression levels for 12 genes representative of musculoskeletal tissues, including the proposed tendon progenitor marker...
