Tanshinone IIA suppresses fibro-adipogenic progenitor differentiation and attenuates fat infiltration in rotator cuff injury via Wnt/β-catenin pathway

Background: Fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) contribute to excessive muscular fatty infiltration after rotator cuff tears (RCT), impairing shoulder function. Tanshinone IIA (Tan IIA), a major active compound from Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, has known anti-adipogenic effects, yet its impact on FAP...
