General Information
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 ]
Also Known As "muscle attachment cell differentiation"
