Alpha-modified minimum essential medium was added and used to feed the samples in
tendon cell cultures.

tendon cells," Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Toxicology & Pharmacology, vol.
It has been suggested that oxidative stress plays a role in the pathogenesis oftendinopathy, with the findings that peroxiredoxin V expression was increased in tendinopathic tissues [20] and that
tendon cells were particularly vulnerable to prooxidants like fluoroquinolones [21] which was reported to cause spontaneous tendon ruptures.
(33) bFGF affects proliferation and collagen secretion of rotator cuff
tendon cells. Expression in vivo peaks between 5 and 9 days after tendon rupture.

"We know we can grow muscle cells as well as
tendon cells, so that will be the next area of research." (ANI)
The in vitro effects of PEMF on
tendon cells have also been extensively examined, and several insights have been clarified.
Stem cells derived from ligament demonstrate increased clonogenicity and ligament ECM gene expression when compared with bone marrow-derived MSCs (BMMSCs) [14, 25], and collagen scaffolds seeded with
tendon cells and implanted into injured tendon showed improved mechanical properties compared with BMMSCs [43].
