Cell-Based Therapies for Rotator Cuff Injuries: An Updated Review of the Literature
This review focuses on non-surgical treatment options for rotator cuff injuries and highlights the potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as a potential regenerative approach. MSCs, sourced from various tissues like bone marrow and adipose tissue, exhibit promising mechanisms in vitro, influencing tendon-related gene expression and microenvironment modulation.
Frozen shoulder research may hold the key to understanding fibrosis resolution
Frozen shoulder is a painful and disabling condition affecting the ligaments that form the shoulder joint capsule. Patients experience severe stiffening of their affected shoulder which can last for several years, interfering with activities of daily life.
Mapping blood vessel network of the meniscus with high precision
Knee operations on the meniscus cartilage are a frequent procedure on a particularly complex part of the human body. Empa researchers want to provide an improved basis for clinicians in order to reduce the risks of the operation. Using 3D models based on micro-computed tomography analyses in the laboratory, they are mapping the blood vessel network of the meniscus on a nanometer scale.
Future of Football: Why ACL injuries have been on rise in women's game - and the technology and solutions to fix it
It has been the hottest topic in the women's game - but not for welcome reasons. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are wreaking havoc within the sport, depriving top competitions, leagues and tournaments of some of the world's best players.
Global Cartilage Repair Industry is poised for remarkable growth, estimating a significant 13.9% CAGR until 2032, according to FMI
Future Market Insights (FMI) forecasts substantial growth in the global cartilage repair industry size, indicating an impressive Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 13.9% from 2022 to 2032. The market, valued at US$ 1 billion in 2022, is expected to hit US$ 3.9 billion by 2032, reflecting a significant upward trajectory.
Kids Specializing in One Sport More at Risk for Injury and Burnout, Experts Say
The type of workout you do, and how your body gets its energy to fuel that movement, helps define these different forms of exercise.
Critical Challenges and Frontiers in Cartilage Tissue Engineering
Effective treatment approaches are urgently needed due to the rising prevalence of articular cartilage injuries brought on by circumstances such as trauma, biomechanical imbalances, and degenerative diseases
Effects of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium on human tenocytes exposed to high glucose
Diabetic tendinopathy is a common invalidating and challenging disease that may be treated using stem cells. However, the effects of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium (ASC-CM) in diabetic tendinopathy have never been explored.
Minimally invasive brain-computer interface may help those with tetraplegia restore hand functions
An implanted brain-computer interface (BCI) can assist severely disabled persons with communication and active rehabilitation. Sustainable BCI implants require minimal invasiveness.A team led by Prof. Bo Hong from Tsinghua Medicine proposed the principle and design of a minimally invasive BCI in 2013.
What types of shoulder surgery are available?
The shoulder is a mobile and complex joint that is prone to dislocation and injury. Several types of shoulder surgery can address and correct various shoulder symptoms.
