Unfortunately, the limited regenerative ability of tendons results in tissue healing in a scar-mediated manner. The current therapeutic strategies fail to fully recover the functions of the injured tendons, and as such, the conception of 'scarless healing' has gained prominent attention in the field of regenerative medicine. Interestingly, injured fetal tendons possess the capability to heal through regeneration, which builds an ideal blueprint for adult tendon regeneration. Studies have shown that fetal biochemical cues have the potential to improve adult tendon healing. Here we review the biological factors that contribute to fetal tendon regeneration and how manipulation of these biochemical cues in the adult tendon healing process could achieve regeneration.</p>","PeriodicalId":21043,"journal":{"name":"Regenerative medicine","volume":" ","pages":"809-822"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10163308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
