Overview schematic highlighting biologic and stem cell strategies for rotator cuff repair. (A) Cell-free biomimetic scaffolds can be implanted to control release of biomolecules or exert their own beneficial proliferative or differentiating effects on local tissues. (B) Stem/progenitor cells delivered to the injury site can modulate the local environment or undergo direct cell differentiation. (C) The combination of biomaterial scaffold and stem/progenitor cells has been explored in recent studies to increase healing after rotator cuff injury and repair.
