Programmable DNA Hydrogel Provides Suitable Microenvironment for Enhancing TSPCS Therapy in Healing of Tendinopathy

A tendon stem/progenitor cells(TSPCs) delivery system was developed by encapsulating TSPCs within a DNA hydrogel as the DNA hydrogel offers an excellent artificial extracellular matrix (ECM) microenvironment by providing nutrition for proliferation and protection against shear forces.
