Autophagy Prevents Oxidative Stress-Induced Loss of Self-Renewal Capacity and Stemness in Human Tendon Stem Cells by Reducing ROS Accumulation

Background/Aims: Tendon stem cells (TSCs) exhibit a high self-renewal capacity, multi-differentiation potential, and low immunogenicity; thus, these cells might provide a new cell source for tendon repair and regeneration. TSCs are exposed to increased oxidative stress at tendon injury sites; howeve...
