15 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) often suffered with many musculoskeletal disorders, such as tendon rupture and tendinopathy. However, the understanding of the pathogenesis of these alternations is limited. This study was designed to investigate the role of tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs) in histopathological alterations of DM tendons. METHODS: Forty-two SD rats were randomly and equally divided...
