Il-6 signaling exacerbates hallmarks of chronic tendon disease by stimulating reparative fibroblasts by Tino Stauber, Greta Moschini, Amro A Hussien, Patrick Klaus Jaeger, Katrien De Bock, Jess G Snedeker

“…To dissect the underlying causalities, we combine IL-6 knock-out mice with an explant-based assembloid model of tendon damage to successfully connect IL-6 signaling to reparative fibroblast activation and recruitment. Vice versa, we show that these reparative fibroblasts promote the development of tendinopathy hallmarks in the damaged explant upon IL-6 activation. …”
