METHOD FOR TREATING OSTEOARTHRITIS WITH A COMBINATION OF MESENCHYMAL STEM CELL EXOSOMES, SYNOVIAL MESENCYMAL STEM CELLS, AND SCAFFOLDS

摘要

Disclosed herein are methods for treating osteoarthritis may be a one-step arthroscopic procedure and may include detaching synovial mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from the synovium using a brush device; covering articular cartilage in an affected joint with a scaffold; and placing concentrated MSC exosomes into the affected joint to stimulate differentiation of synovial MSCs into articular cartilage cells.
