Researchers here move from rodents to sheep in testing the ability of a comparatively simple autologous cell therapy to improve regeneration following tendon injury. The results appear much the same in both species, which suggests that human trials will produce positive results. This approach will join a few other cell therapies aimed at tendon repair and tested in human trials over the past twenty years. The field moves slowly, like much of medicine.

In the search for new and better ways to heal injured tendons, the medical world is looking closely at regenerative therapies. In particular, autologous adipose micrografts (AAMGs) and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki…
