Challenges Facing the Translation of Embryonic Stem Cell Therapy for the Treatment of Cartilage Lesions

Abstract excerpt

Osteoarthritis is a common disease resulting in significant disability without approved disease-modifying treatment (other than total joint replacement). Stem cell-based therapy is being actively explored for the repair of cartilage lesions in the treatment and prevention of osteoarthritis. Embryonic stem cells are a very attractive source as they address many of the limitations inherent in autologous stem cells,...
