Background:

Rotator cuff regeneration is challenging due to poor vascularization, inflammation, and poor tendon-bone healing.
Current treatments often fail to fully restore function, necessitating innovative regenerative strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

To engineer a metallic ion-based hydrogel scaffold for enhanced rotator cuff regeneration.
To evaluate the scaffold's potential for promoting angiogenesis, osteogenesis, and modulating inflammation.
To assess the scaffold's efficacy in a rat rotator cuff injury model.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of a metallic ion-based hydrogel scaffold using bioorthogonal click chemistry and photopolymerization.
In vitro assessment of the hydrogel's effects on endothelial cells, mesenchymal stem cells, and macrophages.
In vivo evaluation in a rat rotator cuff injury model using imaging and immunohistochemistry.

Main Results:

The hydrogel scaffold successfully promoted angiogenesis and osteogenic differentiation in vitro.
It modulated macrophage polarization from pro-inflammatory M1 to anti-inflammatory M2.
In vivo studies demonstrated effective rotator cuff regeneration and excellent biocompatibility in rats.

Conclusions:

The developed metallic ion-based hydrogel scaffold serves as an effective platform for releasing metal ions and peptides.
This approach accelerates rotator cuff regeneration and shows significant promise for clinical applications in rotator cuff therapy.
