2. Stem cell transplantation for articular cartilage repair

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_cell_transplantation...

   Marrow-nucleated cells are used every day in regenerative orthopedics. The knee microfracture surgery technique relies on the release of these cells into a cartilage lesion to initiate fibrocartilage repair in osteochondral defects. [13] In addition, this cell population has also been shown to assist in the repair of non-union fractures. [14]

3. Knee cartilage replacement therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knee_cartilage_replacement...

   Because mesenchymal stem cells may regenerate cartilage, cartilage growth in human knees using autologous cultured mesenchymal stem cells is under research and preliminary clinical use, and appears to be safe as of 2016. [11] An advantage to this approach is that a person's own stem cells are used, avoiding tissue rejection by the immune system ...

4. Articular cartilage repair - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articular_cartilage_repair

   In particular, mesenchymal stem cells have been shown in animal models to regenerate cartilage. Recently, there has been a published case report of decrease in knee pain in a single individual using autologous mesenchymal stem cells. An advantage to this approach is that a person's own stem cells are used, avoiding transmission of genetic diseases.

5. Gene therapy for osteoarthritis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_therapy_for...

   The cells targeted for the treatment of osteoarthritis are chondrocytes, synoviocytes, and their progenitors. Since the joint capsule is relatively well contained, intra-articular injections are highly successful at delivering the therapeutic gene therapy locally to the target cell types. Treatment of osteoarthritis may be successful via:

6. Stem-cell therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem-cell_therapy

   The transplanted cells also generate an immune response that helps to kill off the cancer cells; this process can go too far, however, leading to graft vs host disease, the most serious side effect of this treatment. [8] Another stem-cell therapy, called Prococvhymal, was conditionally approved in Canada in 2012 for the management of acute ...
