Germline-mediated ubiquitous recombination in ScxCre male mice: implications for tendon research

Changqing Li, Christopher L. Mendias, Chike Cao

The paper shows that ScxCre mice cause unintended recombination in male germline, leading to global gene effects in offspring, and advises sex selection to avoid off-target effects.

Increased Ca2+ signaling through CaV1.2 induces tendon hypertrophy with increased collagen fibrillogenesis and biomechanical properties

Changqing Li, Antonion Korcari, David J. Ciufo…·Chike Cao

This study shows that increased CaV1.2 Ca2+ signaling in tendon fibroblasts leads to tendon hypertrophy, increased collagen fibrillogenesis, and improved biomechanical properties.
