  2. Stem cell transplantation for articular cartilage repair

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

    [4] [5] [6] Recent research demonstrates that articular cartilage may be able to be repaired via the percutaneous introduction of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC's). [7] Stem cells, as a concept, originated as a theory in the 19th century to potentially allow certain tissues to self-renew. There are five types of stem cells, and MSC's are multi ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_cartilage

    Artificial cartilage is a synthetic material made of hydrogels [1] or polymers that aims to mimic the functional properties of natural cartilage in the human body. Tissue engineering principles are used in order to create a non- degradable and biocompatible material that can replace cartilage. [2] While creating a useful synthetic cartilage ...

  4. Regenerative medicine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_medicine

    A colony of human embryonic stem cells. Regenerative medicine deals with the "process of replacing, engineering or regenerating human or animal cells, tissues or organs to restore or establish normal function". [ 1 ] This field holds the promise of engineering damaged tissues and organs by stimulating the body's own repair mechanisms to ...

  5. Microfracture surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microfracture_surgery

    Microfracture surgery is an articular cartilage repair surgical technique that works by creating tiny fractures in the underlying bone. This causes new cartilage to develop from a so-called super-clot. The surgery is quick (typically lasting between 30 and 90 minutes), minimally invasive, and can have a significantly shorter recovery time than ...

    The Centre for Regenerative Medicine (CRM) is a stem cell research centre at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, dedicated to the study and development of new regenerative treatments for human diseases. [2] The centre forms part of the university's Institute for Regeneration and Repair and is part of the BioQuarter cluster at Little France.

  7. Induced pluripotent stem cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_pluripotent_stem_cell

    Induced pluripotent stem cells (also known as iPS cells or iPSCs) are a type of pluripotent stem cell that can be generated directly from a somatic cell. The iPSC technology was pioneered by Shinya Yamanaka and Kazutoshi Takahashi in Kyoto, Japan, who together showed in 2006 that the introduction of four specific genes (named Myc, Oct3/4, Sox2 ...
