Description
Abstract
This article has two goals. First, it reviews
studies on tendinopathy in the literature while
highlighting the following points: a) tendinopathy refers
to a spectrum of tendon disorders with multiple facets of
"tissue phenotypes," and b) mechanical loading is a
major factor that contributes to the development of
tendinopathy by inducing the aberrant differentiation of
tendon stem/progenitor cells into non-tenocyte cell
lineages. Second, the current treatments of tendinopathy
with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) are briefly described,
issues related to PRP treatment in clinics are highlighted,
and the needs for basic science research on clinical
usage of PRP for tendinopathy treatment are discussed.
