Injury & soft-tissue recovery

Compounds most cited in tendon, ligament, muscle and wound-repair models. Reference only.

Ranking reflects how much cited material this reference holds for the goal — how many indications are recorded and how strong the reported effects were. It is a measure of documentation, not a safety or efficacy endorsement, and a compound can rank highly on preclinical work alone.
