Microencapsulated stem cells reduce cartilage damage in a material dependent manner following minimally invasive intra-articular injection in an OA rat model

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease of the joints for which no curative treatment exists. Intra-articular injection of stem cells is explored as a regenerative approach, but rapid clearance of cells from the injection site limits the therapeutic outcome. Microencapsulation of mesenchymal s...
