Annotation rationales
Skin tenogenic fibroblasts have a tendon- and ligament-like matrix identity marked by transcriptional programs for aligned collagen and force transmission.
Functional implications
They reinforce mechanically stressed connective tissues and support repair of tendon-like attachments within the skin.
