Increasing the level of cytoskeletal protein Flightless I reduces adhesion formation in a murine digital flexor tendon model

Abstract Background Surgical repair of tendons is common, but function is often limited due to the formation of flexor tendon adhesions which reduce the mobility and use of the affected digit and hand. The severity of adhesion formation is dependent on numerous cellular processes many of which invol...
