Synergistic enhancement of tendon-to-bone healing via anti-inflammatory and pro-differentiation effects caused by sustained release of Mg2+/curcumin from injectable self-healing hydrogels

Conclusions: The composite hydrogel mediated sustained in situ release of curcumin and Mg2+ to effectively promote rotator cuff tendon-to-bone healing via anti-inflammatory and pro-differentiation effects. Therefore, this composite hydrogel offers significant promise for rotator cuff repair.
