Location-specific signaling cascades from proteins and cytokines, such as hedgehog, TGF-β, and BMP, are essential to the differences in the development between tendon midsubstance and the enthesis. Differential expression of transcription factors by tenocytes from the midsubstance versus enthesis elucidates the location-specific cell niche necessary for the development of the compositional gradient seen in mature tendons.
