They may either be embryonic (ESCs), coming from a very early embryo or blastocyst, or they may be postnatal/adult stem cells (ASCs), which are undifferentiated, capable of self-renewal, and responsible for adult tissue regeneration [28,29].
2 lis 2023 · Here we aimed to identify the safety and efficacy of cell injections from autologous bone marrow aspirate concentrate, autologous adipose stromal vascular fraction and allogeneic human...
27 lis 2023 · Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) have shown promise in clinical trials for OA treatment, offering potential pain relief and functional improvement. ADMSCs possess advantages such as accessibility and a favorable safety profile, making them a viable option for OA management.
15 kwi 2023 · SRs/MAs results revealed that stem cell therapy relieved pain in patients over time but did not improve knee function. However, current clinical studies have limited evidence regarding study objectives, test designs, and patient populations.
Studies have shown that it is feasible to induce human pluripotent stem cells to differentiate into chondrocytes; therefore, stem cell therapy has become a new method for local treatment of knee osteoarthritis.
The use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA) has gained recent interest in the orthopaedics community. Purpose: To review the literature to evaluate the efficacy of umbilical cord–derived MSCs in the treatment of OA of the knee joint.
