Tendinopathy is a common and highly prevalent musculoskeletal disorder characterized by repetitive activity-related pain and focal tendon tenderness. Histopathologically, tendinopathic tissue mainly shows degenerative changes. Therefore, tendinopathy is not affected by anti-inflammatory therapies. A novel approach, including a stem cell-based therapy, may be beneficial for its treatment.
