OXIDATIVE STRESS
Symptomatic, partial-thickness rotator cuff tear (sPTRCT) is a common cause of shoulder pain, loss of function and occupational disabilityCurrent non-surgical and surgical treatment options to address sPTRCT do not offer the potential to naturally replace damaged tendon tissue and often do not improve clinical results. Subacromial injection of corticosteroids, among the most widely used nonoperative treatment options for sPTRCTA recent, first-in-human RCTUnlike most other cell preparations currently under investigation for use in regenerative medicine (including cultured adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs), induced pluripotent stem cells, etc.) UA-ADRCs are not expanded in culture, and are therefore not exposed to potential, culture-related mechanic and oxidative stress that could affect their safety as a medicinal productIn the former study
