Exosome Cell Origin Affects <i>In Vitro</i> Markers of Tendon Repair in Ovine Macrophages and Tenocytes Open
Tendon injuries and disease are resistant to surgical repair; thus, adjunct therapies are widely investigated, especially mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and, more recently, their extracellular vesicles (MSCdEVs), for example, exosomes. T…
