      [Abstract] Background. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a multifactorial disease characterized by destruction of the articular cartilage due to environmental, mechanical and genetic components. The genetics of OA is complex and ...
    • Chondrogenic Potential of Subpopulations of Cells Expressing Mesenchymal Stem Cell Markers Derived from Human Synovial Membranes 

      Arufe, M.C.; Fuente, Alexandre de la; Fuentes Boquete, Isaac Manuel; De-Toro, Javier; Blanco García, Francisco J (Wiley, 2010-07-21)
      [Abstract] In this study we analyzed the chondrogenic potential of subpopulations of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from human synovial membranes enriched for CD73, CD106, and CD271 markers. Subpopulations of human ...
    • Tratamiento de lesiones del cartílago articular con terapia celular 

      Fuentes Boquete, Isaac Manuel; Arufe, M.C.; Díaz-Prado, Silvia; Hermida Gómez, Tamara; De-Toro, Javier; Blanco García, Francisco J (Elsevier, 2008-11-13)
      [Resumen] Las lesiones del cartílago articular que no afectan a la integridad del hueso subcondral no se reparan espontáneamente. El carácter asintomático de estas lesiones propicia la progresiva degeneración articular y ...
