Arthroscopic histological and MRI analyses of cartilage repair aftera minimally invasive method of transplantation of allogeneic synovialmesenchymal stromal cells into cartilage defects in pigs

摘要

Background aimsTransplantation of synovial mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) may induce repair of cartilage defects. We transplanted synovial MSCs into cartilage defects using a simple method and investigated its usefulness and repair process in a pig model.
