To examine how the chemotactic agent stromal cell-derived factor-1alpha (SDF-1α) modulates the unique cellular milieu within rotator cuff muscle following tendon injury, we developed an injectable, heparin-based microparticle platform to locally present SDF-1α within the supraspinatus muscle following severe rotator cuff injury. SDF-1α loaded, degradable, N-desulfated heparin-based microparticles were fabricated, injected into a rat model of severe rotator cuff injury, and were retained for up t ...[more]
