Molecular characterization of mesenchymal stem cells in human osteoarthritis cartilage reveals contribution to the OA phenotype
Abstract Adult human articular cartilage harbors a population of CD166+ mesenchymal stem cell-like progenitors that become more numerous during osteoarthritis (OA). While their role is not well understood, here we report that they are indeed part of cellular clusters formed in OA cartilage, which is...
