Magnetic Targeted Delivery of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Promotes Articular Cartilage Repair

Cartilage regeneration treatments using stem cells are associated with problems due to the cell source and the difficulty of delivering the cells to the cartilage defect. We consider labeled induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells to be an ideal source of cells for tissue regeneration, and if iPS cells...
