TGF-β1 derived from macrophages contributes to load-induced tendon-bone healing in the murine rotator cuff repair model by promoting chondrogenesis

Aims: It has been established that mechanical stimulation benefits tendon-bone (T-B) healing, and macrophage phenotype can be regulated by mechanical cues; moreover, the interaction between macrophages and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) plays a fundamental role in tissue repair. This study aimed to...
