Small leucine-rich proteoglycans, such as decorin and biglycan, play pivotal roles in collagen fibrillogenesis during development, healing, and aging in tendon. Previous work has shown that the absence of decorin and biglycan affects fibril shape and mechanical properties during tendon healing. However, the roles of decorin and biglycan in the healing process of aged tendons are unclear. Therefore the objective of this study was to evaluate the differential roles of decorin and biglycan during healing of patellar tendon injury in aged mice. Aged (300 days old) female Dcn
