Intra-articular injection of human meniscus stem/progenitor cells promotes meniscus regeneration and ameliorates osteoarthritis through stromal cell-derived factor-1/CXCR4-mediated homing.

Meniscus injury is frequently encountered in clinical practice. Current surgical therapy involving partial or complete meniscectomy relieves pain in the short-term but often leads to osteoarthritis (OA) in the long-term.…

Evaluation of Intra-Articular Mesenchymal Stem Cells to Augment Healing of Microfractured Chondral Defects

Purpose This study evaluated intra-articular injection of bone marrow–derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) to augment healing with microfracture compared with microfracture alone. Methods Ten horses (aged 2.5 to 5 years)…
