Scientists at USC are pioneering a breakthrough therapy using biodegradable particles loaded with all-trans retinoic acid to accelerate muscle recovery after injury, surgery, or prolonged inactivity. Designed to work alongside physical therapy—not replace it—this targeted treatment shows promise in speeding healing for vulnerable populations like the elderly and veterans, helping them regain strength, prevent falls, and maintain independence. Early mouse studies reveal faster muscle repair and improved quality, paving the way for human trials. Researchers are now exploring broader delivery methods and combining multiple drugs to optimize results, aiming to create a safe, effective, and accessible solution to help people recover stronger and faster.
