"Cell-Based Therapy for Rotator Cuff Muscle Repair"
Researchers from Georgia Tech have developed a novel cell-based dual treatment for rotator cuff injuries, aiming to address poor clinical outcomes associated with common rotator cuff surgery. The treatment involves a combination of a bone marrow mobilizing agent and local injection of microparticles loaded with a protein called stromal cell-derived factor (SDF) to attract healing cells to the injury site, resulting in enhanced muscle regeneration. This innovative approach shows promise for improving muscle regeneration and has potential applications beyond the rotator cuff.
