Repair of Injured Articular and Growth Plate Cartilage Using Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Chondrogenic Gene Therapy

Abstract excerpt

Injuries to the articular cartilage and growth plate are significant clinical problems due to their limited ability to regenerate themselves. Despite progress in orthopedic surgery and some success in development of chondrocyte transplantation treatment and in early tissue-engineering work, cartilage regeneration using a biological approach still remains a great challenge. In the last 15 years, researchers have...
