Injectable hydrogel microspheres in cartilage repair
The key to regenerative medicine is in situ regeneration of lesion cells, so as to achieve lesion repair and regeneration. However, the complex environment of the joint cavity where cartilage is located leads to poor efficacy of traditional therapies to ...

Expression and function of cartilage-derived pluripotent cells in joint development and repair
Cartilage-derived pluripotent cells reside in hyaline cartilage and fibrocartilage. These cells have the potential for multidirectional differentiation; can undergo adipogenesis, osteogenesis, and chondrogenesis; and have been classified as mesenchymal ...

Preclinical Studies for Cartilage Repair [PDF]
Investigational devices for articular cartilage repair or replacement are considered to be significant risk devices by regulatory bodies. Therefore animal models are needed to provide proof of efficacy and safety prior to clinical testing. The financial commitment and regulatory steps needed to bring a new technology to clinical use can be major ...

Advances and Prospects in Stem Cells for Cartilage Regeneration
The histological features of cartilage call attention to the fact that cartilage has a little capacity to repair itself owing to the lack of a blood supply, nerves, or lymphangion.
