Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate the protective effects of extracellular vesicles derived from bone marrow stem cells (BMSC-EVs) on muscle degeneration in a rat model of rotator cuff tendon and suprascapular nerve (SSN) transection (termed the RCT-SSN model), focusing on mitochondrial transfer. METHODS: The EVs were identified and characterized. The RCT-SSN model was established by transecting the supraspinatus,...
