“…However, adult tenocytes do have a limited self‐renewal in vitro, which would limit their numbers for clinical application , and in vivo, they generate reparative scar tissue rather than healthy tendon tissue (Tang et al, 2014). Therefore, future work is required to examine the effects of force on cells that may aid tendon regeneration, for example mesenchymal stromal cells (Godwin, Young, Dudhia, Beamish, & Smith, 2012) and embryonic stem cells (Barsby et al, 2014; McClellan, Evans, et al, 2019; McClellan, Paterson, Paillot, & Guest, 2019).…”
