Stem‐cell‐driven regeneration of synovial joints
22 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
Mammalian skeletal motion is made possible by synovial joints. Widespread suffering from arthritis and joint injuries has motivated recent effort to regenerate a stem-cell-driven synovial joint condyle implantable in total joint replacement.
