Abstract
Shockwave therapy (SWT) shows promising regenerative effects in several different tissues. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Angiogenesis, a process of new blood vessel formation is a leading driver of regeneration in softer tissues as well as a recently discovered effect of SWT. How the mechanical stimulus of SWT induces angiogenesis and regeneration and which pathways are involved is not fully understood. To further improve the clinical use of SWT and gain valuable information about how mechanical stimulation can affect tissue and tissue regeneration, a standardized model of SWT is needed. We, hereby, describe a standardized, easy to implement murine model of shockwave therapy induced regeneration, utilizing the hind-limb ischemia model.
