USC researcher identifies stem cells in tendons that regenerate tissue in animal model

A consortium of scientists, led in part by USC School of Dentistry researcher Songtao Shi, has identified unique cells within the adult tendon that have stem-cell characteristics -- including the ability to proliferate and self-renew. The research team was able to isolate these cells and regenerate tendon-like tissue in the animal mode.
