Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of platelet mediator concentrate (PMC), rich in growth factors, on tenocyte (tendon cell) proliferation and differentiation, aiming to enhance tendon injury treatments.
- Researchers utilized various methods, including enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and real-time RT-PCR, to analyze the growth factors in PMC and the response of tenocytes.
- Results indicate that PMC promotes tenocyte growth and viability in a dose-dependent manner and enhances gene expression of important tendon-related proteins, suggesting PMC could be an effective complement to traditional tendon therapy.
Purpose: Adequate filling of bone defects still poses a challenge in every day clinical work. As many bone defects are irregularly shaped the need for appropriate scaffolds reaching the complete defect surface are great. The purpose of this pre-clinical pilot study was to investigate the handling, biocompatibility, biodegradation and osteoconductivity of a new pasty bone substitute (pure phase β-TCP, hyaluronic acid, methylcellulose) in bone tissue.
