Preclinical studies have shown that stem cells are able to survive and differentiate into tendon cells when placed into a new tendon environment, leading to regeneration and biomechanical benefit to the tendon. Studies have been reported showing that stem cell therapy can be enhanced by molecular signaling adjunct, mechanical stimulation of cells, and the use of augmentation delivery devices. Studies have also shown alternatives to the standard method of bone marrow\u2013derived mesenchymal stem cell therapy. Of the 5 human studies, only 1 was a randomized controlled trial, which showed that skin\u2010derived tendon cells had a greater clinical benefit than autologous plasma. One cohort study showed the benefit of stem cells in rotator cuff tears and another in lateral epicondylitis. Two of the human studies showed how stem cells were successfully extracted from the humerus and, when tagged with insulin, became tendon cells.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The current evidence shows that stem cells can have a positive effect on tendon healing. This is most likely because stem cells have regeneration potential, producing tissue that is similar to the preinjury state, but the results can be variable. The use of adjuncts such as molecular signaling, mechanical stimulation, and augmentation devices can potentially enhance stem cell therapy. Initial clinical trials are promising, with adjuncts for stem cell therapy in development.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
