Article Synopsis
- * New research shows that atelocollagen can improve tendon healing, leading to the development of a modified suture using a material called pDOPA to better coat the PLGA suture with atelocollagen.
- * Experimental results in rats reveal that the atelocollagen-coated PLGA/pDOPA sutures lead to better healing of the Achilles tendon compared to standard sutures after surgery, suggesting their potential for future use in medical applications.
Article Synopsis
- Research is exploring nonoperative treatments for Achilles tendon ruptures due to issues like reruptures and low satisfaction, with atelocollagen injections showing promise for healing.
- A study involving 66 rats tested the effects of atelocollagen on tendon recovery by comparing a collagen injection group (CG) and a noninjection group (NG) over a few weeks.
- Results indicated that the CG had significantly better functional and biomechanical properties compared to the NG, with increased collagen production observed, suggesting atelocollagen enhances healing for these injuries.
Exposure to particulate matter (PM) has been linked with the severity of various diseases. To date, there is no study on the relationship between PM exposure and tendon healing. Open Achilles tenotomy of 20 rats was performed.
