Safety of Stem Cell Therapy for Chronic Knee Pain Confirmed in New Study
Source: SciTechDaily
A study released in STEM CELLS Translational Medicine has confirmed the safety of a novel type of cellular therapy for knee pain caused by osteoarthritis. Conducted by a multi-institutional team of researchers in Japan who had developed the new therapy, the study was designed to confirm that their treatment – which involves transplanting the patient’s own mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into the affected knee – did not cause tumors.

Burn patients with the most serious wounds require an autograft: the harvesting of that person’s own healthy skin, which is then transplanted to the burn site. There is now a regenerative medicine alternative. The FDA has approved an engineered skin product that’s placed on the wound, serving as a scaffold for a patient’s skin cells to grow.
