This article covers what preclinical studies have shown about tendon, ligament, and connective tissue healing, along with the gaps in the evidence and where peptide-related research currently stands.
The Cellular Biology of Tendon and Ligament Healing: What Manual Therapists Should Understand
Tissue repair isn’t one event with a start and finish line. Tendons and ligaments run on a different clock than the rest of the musculoskeletal system, and keeping that in view is what turns a generic treatment timeline into one that’s actually built around how the tissue in front of you is going to heal.
