Mechanical force regulates tendon extracellular matrix organization and tenocyte morphogenesis through TGFbeta signaling

Mechanical forces between cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) influence cell shape and function. Tendons are ECM-rich tissues connecting muscles with bones that bear extreme tensional force. Analysis of transgenic zebrafish expressing mCherry driven by the tendon determinant scleraxis reveals that...
