Muscle strain injury exudate favors acute tissue healing and prolonged connective tissue formation in humans

Traumatic strain injury in skeletal muscle is often associated with fluid accumulation on the site of rupture, but the role of this injury exudate in cellular responses and healing is unknown. Exudate fluid from subjects suffering from acute hamstering or calf muscle strain injury was aspirated and the cells isolated. These exudate cells and cells derived from the blood were subjected to RNA sequencing and compared to analyze the nature of the exudate cells. Comparison of exudate and blood derived cells from four subjects.
