Rotator Cuff Regeneration Using BMP5

Rotator cuff disease causes severe shoulder pain and limited arm movement. Current treatments offer temporary relief but do not regenerate damaged tendons. Preliminary studies show that injections of the biologic agent BMP5 can improve tendon strength by 30 percent. This project aims to complete pre-clinical studies to evaluate BMP5’s safety for rotator cuff treatment and has the potential to provide a new regenerative treatment option and reduce the need for surgery.
