Mesenchymal stem cells in synovial fluid increase in number in response to synovitis and display more tissue-reparative phenotypes in osteoarthritis
Abstract Background Synovial fluid mesenchymal stem cells (SF-MSCs) originate in the synovium and contribute to the endogenous repair of damaged intra-articular tissues. Here, we clarified the relationship between their numbers and joint structural changes during osteoarthritis (OA) progression and...
