Mesenchymal Stem Cells

A new clinical trial assesses autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell therapy in twelve patients with moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis

The growing interest surrounding the therapeutic application of purified and concentrated regenerative factors secreted by mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs) has recently focused on exosomes, which are now understood to be critical active pharmaceutical ingredients of MSC‐based therapies.
