Core Tip

Core Tip: The cAMP signalling pathway may be the key to enhancing the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of Achilles tendon disease. ADCY1-9 may be the key to activating the cAMP signalling network and is expected to be a complementary target for enhancing the effectiveness of PRP in the treatment of Achilles tendon disease.
