Abstract
Introduction: Cell-based approaches are expected to improve tendon-to-bone healing in rotator cuff tendon injuries. Recently, a specialized population of endothelial cells which produce signaling molecules that stimulate the intrinsic stem cells in specific tissues have been identified and reported. 4 Lebaschi A.

Murine Supraspinatus Tendon Detachment and Repair Model Augmented With Tendon-Derived, Activated Endothelial Cells: A New Concept in Biologic Enhancement of Tendon-to-Bone Healing. In Annual Meeting of the Orthopedic Research Society. 2017http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/jor.23581 Google Scholar We hypothesized that endothelial cells from muscle tissue could stimulate and enhance the tendon-to-bone healing. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the effects of the novel muscle-derived activated endothelial cells (mECs) implanted at the repair site in a murine rotator cuff repair model.
