A Long-Term Follow-Up Study of Intravenous Autologous Mesenchymal Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With Ischemic Stroke†‡§

We previously evaluated the short-term follow-up preliminary data of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) transplantation in patients with ischemic stroke. The present study was conducted to evaluate the long-term safety and…

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)…

Osteoarthritis Prevention Through Meniscal Regeneration Induced by Intra-Articular Injection of Meniscus Stem Cells

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.…
