Stem Cells for Cell Therapy in Orthopedics
Are umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells advantageous over bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells for cell therapy in orthopedics? Mesenchymal Stem cells (MSC) from umbilical cords (UC) are of increasing interest for cell therapy in degenerative musculoskeletal disorders as they present little ethical consideration and are reported to contain immune privileged cells, which may be suitable for allogeneic based therapies. The …
The Safety/Efficacy of Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells Therapy
The Safety/Efficacy of Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells Therapy for Patients With Osteoarthritis The purpose of this study is verify the efficacy and safety of Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells (UC-MSC) therapy for patients with Osteoarthritis, and in addition, provide basis for exploring the treatment regimen of UC-MSC therapy in different degree of cartilage defect disease. Read more …
Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy for Intervertebral Disc Degeneration
The potential role of mesenchymal stem cell therapy for intervertebral disc degeneration: a critical overview. Low-back pain is the most common health problem for men and women between 20 and 50 years of age, resulting in 13 million doctor visits in the US annually, with significant costs to society in terms of lost time from work and direct and indirect …
Cartilage Regeneration in Osteoarthritic Patients
Cartilage Regeneration in Osteoarthritic Patients by a Composite of Allogeneic Umbilical Cord Blood‐Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Hyaluronate Hydrogel Results from a Clinical Trial for Safety and Proof‐of‐Concept with 7 Years of Extended Follow‐Up Few methods are available to regenerate articular cartilage defects in patients with osteoarthritis. We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of articular cartilage regeneration by …
Mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of traumatic articular cartilage defects
A Comprehensive Review Articular cartilage has a limited capacity to repair following injury. Early intervention is required to prevent progression of focal traumatic chondral and osteochondral defects to advanced cartilage degeneration and osteoarthritis. Novel cell-based tissue engineering techniques have been proposed with the goal of resurfacing defects with bioengineered tissue that recapitulates the properties of hyaline cartilage and integrates into …
Knee Cartilage Regeneration with Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Knee Cartilage Regeneration with Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells Embedded in Collagen Scaffold Using Dry Arthroscopy Technique Articular cartilage injuries lead to progressive degeneration of the joint with subsequent progression to osteoarthritis, which currently becomes a serious health and economic issue. Due to limited capability for self-regeneration, cartilage repair remains a challenge for the present-day orthopedics. Currently, available therapeutic methods …
Stem cell application for osteoarthritis in the knee joint: A minireview
Knee osteoarthritis is a chronic, indolent disease that will affect an ever increasing number of patients, especially the elderly and the obese. It is characterized by degeneration of the cartilage substance inside the knee which leads to pain, stiffness and tenderness. By some estimations in 2030, only in the United States, this medical condition will burden 67 million people. While …
