Surgical reattachment of tendon to bone often fails due to regeneration failure of the specialised tendon-bone junction (TBJ). The use of mesenchymal stem cells for TBJ regeneration has been reported with promising results. Tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs) with high proliferative and multi-lineage differentiation potential have been isolated. As stem cells residing in tendons, TDSCs can be considered a new cell source for TBJ repair. Bone morphogenic protein 2 (BMP-2) is a potent osteogenic factor with roles in normal bone healing and pathological ectopic bone formation in soft tissues. The use of BMP-2 to promote TBJ repair has been well reported. This study aimed to compare TDSCs to the gold standard bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) with respect to osteogenic response to BMP-2 in vitro.
