Application of adipose tissue-derived stem cells in a rat rotator cuff repair model.
RatOtherSprague-Dawleyn = 50 Sprague-Dawley rats in total, 32 for biomechanical study…Local application on a collagen carrier at the repair site2 x 10^6 ASCsAt the time of tendon detachment and repair surgery
Model: Surgical detachment and repair of the supraspinatus tendon (rotator cuff repair model)
Adipose-derived stem cells did not improve the biomechanical properties of tendon-to-bone healing at 2 or 4 weeks but were associated with less acute inflammation and reduced oedema and neutrophil presence.
