Reticulocalbin 3 is involved in postnatal tendon development by regulating collagen fibrillogenesis and cellular maturation
Abstract Tendon plays a critical role in the joint movement by transmitting force from muscle to bone. This transmission of force is facilitated by its specialized structure, which consists of highly aligned extracellular matrix consisting predominantly of type I collagen. Tenocytes, fibroblast-like...
