This post is regarding a follow up on my initial post on"Properties and life cycle of chondrocytes and tenocytes".
I am elaborating on my question on the lifespan of tenocytes andchondrocytes.
From what I have read, tenocytes and chondrocytes form frommature stem cells, more specifically Mesenchymal stem cells. Thesecells can replicate through mitosis, and are present in the body indifferent tissues like bone marrow. These cells are the key in theregeneration of diverse tissues.
When the cells that inhabit tendons or cartilage die, do new MScells travel to the tendon or cartilage area and diffentiate into anew tenocyte or chondrocyte? Are tenocytes and chondrocytescontinuously replaced?
