Cell and Tissue Transplant Strategies for Joint Lesions
(Bentham Open, 2008-07-11)
[Abstract]
Articular cartilage lesions that do not disrupt the integrity of subchondral bone are not capable of spontaneous repair. The asymptomatic nature of these lesions leads to articular cartilage degeneration and ...
Cryopreservation effect on proliferative and chondrogenic potential of human chondrocytes isolated from superficial and deep cartilage
(Bentham Open, 2012-04-06)
[Abstract]
Objectives: To compare the proliferative and chondrogenic potential of fresh and frozen chondrocytes isolated from superficial and deep articular cartilage biopsies.
Materials and Methodology: The study ...
Long-term effects of hydrogen sulfide on the anabolic-catabolic balance of articular cartilage in vitro
(Elsevier, 2017-11-01)
[Abstract] Healthy cartilage maintenance relies on an equilibrium among the anabolic and catabolic processes in chondrocytes. With the onset of osteoarthritis (OA), increased interleukin (IL)-1β levels induce an inhibition ...
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 ...
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 ...
Molecular profile and cellular characterization of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells: donor influence on chondrogenesis
(Elsevier, 2010)
[Abstract] Background. The use of autologous or allogenic stem cells has recently been suggested as an alternative therapeutic approach for treatment of cartilage defects. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) are ...
Potential use of the human amniotic membrane as a scaffold in human articular cartilage repair
(Springer, 2010-04-13)
[Abstract] The human amniotic membrane (HAM) is an abundant and readily obtained tissue that may be an important source of scaffold for transplanted chondrocytes in cartilage regeneration in vivo. To evaluate the potential ...
Quantification of cells expressing mesenchymal stem cell markers in healthy and osteoarthritic synovial membranes
(Journal of Rheumatology Publishing Company, 2010-11-15)
[Abstract] Objective. To quantify cells expressing mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) markers in synovial mem- branes from human osteoarthritic (OA) and healthy joints.
Methods. Synovial membranes from OA and healthy joints were ...
Characterization of microRNA expression profiles in normal and osteoarthritic human chondrocytes
(BioMed Central, 2012-08-12)
[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 ...
