Application of Tscs and Prp to Treat Tendon Injuries
Tendon injuries like tendinopathy are a serious healthcare problem in the United States. However, current treatments for tendon injuries are largely palliative. Biologics treatments, including tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSCs) and platelet rich plasma (PRP) hold great potential to effectively treat tendon injuries. TSCs are tendon specific stem cells and have the ability to differentiate into tenocytes, the resident tendon cells responsible for tendon homeostasis and tendon repair in case of an injury.
