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)…

A5.17 Comparison of adipose mesenchymal stem cells derived from rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis patients. The influence of adipocytokines

Background and Objectives Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) have immunomodulatory properties and are intensively studied as a potential therapeutical method to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA). ASCs immunosuppressive function may be affected…
