Age-Dependent Fibroblast Programs Govern Regenerative and Fibrotic Tendon Repair

Ahmet Engin Pazarçeviren, Minoo Bastani, Dean Roell…·Dmitriy Sheyn

This study identifies age-dependent fibroblast programs in tendon repair, showing young rats exhibit more fibrotic healing due to sustained Nox4-Gas6 pathways.
