| Term | tendon cell differentiation | ID (Ontology) | GO:0035990 (Gene Ontology) |
| Definition | The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of a tendon cell. Tendon cell are elongated fibrocytes in which the cytoplasm is stretched between the collagen fibres of the tendon. Tendon cells have a central cell nucleus with a prominent nucleolus, a well-developed rough endoplasmic reticulum, and are responsible for synthesis and turnover of tendon fibres and ground substance.[ PubMed:21412429 ] | ||
