Growth factors and tendon healing

Francesco Oliva et al. Med Sport Sci. 2012.

Abstract

Recent attention has focused on the biological pathways by which tendons heal leading to the identification of some growth factors (GFs) with involvement in this process. No studies have been published on the time course of the various GFs during the tendon healing process in vivo in humans. We review what is known about these GFs and their role in tendon healing.
