Efficacy of supraspinatus tendon repair using mesenchymal stem cells along with a collagen I scaffold

Conclusions: The implantation of MSCs along with a collagen I scaffold into surgically created tendon defects is safe and effective. MSCs improved the tendon’s maximum load over time, indicating that MSCs could help facilitate the dynamic process of tendon repair.
