Biomaterial-Assisted Gene Therapy for Translational Approaches to Treat Musculoskeletal Disorders
(Elsevier, 2020-12-28)
[Abstract]
Biomaterial-assisted gene therapy is a promising strategy for the treatment of various musculoskeletal disorders such as those concerning the articular cartilage, bones, tendons and ligaments, and meniscus as ...
Scaffold-Mediated Gene Delivery for Osteochondral Repair
(MDPI, 2020-09-29)
[Abstract]
Osteochondral defects involve both the articular cartilage and the underlying subchondral
bone. If left untreated, they may lead to osteoarthritis. Advanced biomaterial-guided delivery of gene
vectors has ...
Current Development of Alternative Treatments for Endothelial Decompensation: Cell-Based Therapy
(Elsevier, 2021-04-01)
[Abstract]
Current treatment for corneal endothelial dysfunction consists in the replacement of corneal endothelium by keratoplasty. Owing to the scarcity of donor corneas and the increasing number of transplants, alternative ...
Usefulness of mesenchymal cell lines for bone and cartilage regeneration research
(MDPI, 2019-12-13)
[Abstract]
The unavailability of sufficient numbers of human primary cells is a major roadblock
for in vitro repair of bone and/or cartilage, and for performing disease modelling experiments.
Immortalized mesenchymal ...
Human amniotic mesenchymal stromal cells as favorable source for cartilage repair
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2017-01-10)
[Abstract]
Introduction: Localized trauma-derived breakdown of the hyaline articular cartilage may progress toward osteoarthritis, a degenerative condition characterized by total loss of articular cartilage and joint ...
Induced pluripotent stem cells for cartilage repair: current status and future perspectives
(AO Research Institute Davos, 2018-09-11)
[Abstract] The establishment of cartilage regenerative medicine is an important clinical issue, but the search for cell sources able to restore cartilage integrity proves to be challenging. Human mesenchymal stromal cells ...
Human cartilage engineering in an in vitro repair model using collagen scaffolds and mesenchymal stromal cells
(Ivyspring, 2017-09-28)
[Abstract] The purpose of this study was to investigate cartilage repair of in vitro lesion models using human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (hBMSCs) with different collagen (Col) scaffolds.
Lesions were made ...
