Identification of tendon stem/progenitor cells and the role of the extracellular matrix in their niche (2007, background): “The primary unit of tendon is a fiber comprised of collagen fibrils that cross-link to each other in a staggered fashio”
The regulation of tendon stem cell differentiation by the alignment of nanofibers. (2010, background): “It is known that hTSPCs reside within a niche that comprises primarily parallel collagen fibers, and this niche plays an important role in regulating their function and differentiation [12,21,22].”
