Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 in Exosomes Derived from Adipose-Derived Stem Cells Promotes Tendon-Bone Healing in Rotator Cuff Injuries

Key Points

To investigate the role of IGF1-enriched exosomes from adipose-derived stem cells in tendon-bone healing.
Evaluated the effects of IGF1-enriched ADSC-derived exosomes on tendon-bone healing.
Measured parameters such as angiogenesis, inflammation, and biomechanical outcomes.
Performed analyses on structural healing post-injury.
Exosomal IGF1 significantly promoted angiogenesis and suppressed inflammation.
Improved structural and biomechanical properties were observed in tendon-bone healing.
Demonstrated potential for enhanced recovery in rotator cuff injuries.

Abstract

Exosomal IGF1 plays a critical role in promoting angiogenesis, suppressing inflammation and pyroptosis, and improving structural and biomechanical outcomes during tendon-bone healing. IGF1-enriched ADSC-derived exosomes represent a promising therapeutic strategy for enhancing rotator cuff repair.
