Bioactivity of human adult stem cells and functional relevance of stem cell-derived extracellular matrix in chondrogenesis

Abstract Background Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) has been used to treat articular cartilage defects for over two decades. Adult stem cells have been proposed as a solution to inadequate donor cell numbers often encountered in ACI. Multipotent stem/progenitor cells isolated from adipose,...
