Effect of Tendon Stem Cells in Chitosan/ β-Glycerophosphate/Collagen Hydrogel on Achilles Tendon Healing in a Rat Model.

CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that the transplantation of TSCs combined with C/GP/Co hydrogel significantly improved the histological, immunohistochemistry, and biomechanical outcomes of the regenerated tissue at 4 and 6 weeks after implantation. TSCs with C/GP/Co hydrogel is a potentially effective treatment for tendon injury. PMID: 28951538 [PubMed - in process]
