Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to characterize the effect of post-surgery joint inflammation on the chondrogenic differentiation capacity of mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs) derived from the synovial membrane (SM). METHODS: Six Suffolk-cross sheep were subjected to experimental anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) core surgeries. After they were killed 2 weeks after surgery, the volume of synovial fluid...
