Meniscus injury remains the most common indication for orthopedic surgery, but loss of functioning meniscus tissue is strongly correlated with development of early osteoarthritis. However, current clinical options for tissue engineering of the meniscus are limited. This study demonstrates the feasibility of combining human meniscus cells with mesenchymal stromal cells to enhance a meniscus scaffold for meniscus regeneration in a one-stage solution for partial meniscal deficiency.
半月板损伤仍然是骨科手术最常见的指征,但半月板功能丧失与早期骨关节炎的发展密切相关。然而,目前用于半月板组织工程的临床选择有限。本研究证明了将人半月板细胞与间充质基质细胞结合以增强半月板支架用于部分半月板缺失的半月板再生的一个阶段解决方案的可行性。
