An advantage to this approach is that a person's own stem cells are used, avoiding transmission of genetic diseases.

6. Gene therapy for osteoarthritis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/.../Gene_therapy_for_osteoarthritis

   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:
