This study depletes Scleraxis-lineage cells in adult tendons and finds improved biomechanical properties and altered collagen structure, suggesting a role in homeostasis rather than repair.

This study shows Scleraxis lineage cells form an organized bridge during tendon healing and identify distinct subpopulations of tendon cells.

This study shows that deleting EP4 in S100a4-lineage cells reduces scar tissue formation early in tendon healing but not later, with increased EP4-expressing myofibroblasts contributing to impaired gliding function later.
