Human synovial mesenchymal stem cells show time-dependent morphological changes and increased adhesion to degenerated porcine cartilage

Abstract The possibility that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can adhere to partial defects or degenerative areas in cartilage remains to be established. The purposes of the present study were to verify the adhesion of synovial MSCs to degenerated cartilage, the time course of that adhesion, and the m...
