Journal ArticleDOI

Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells embedded in Atelocollagen gel to the intervertebral disc: a potential therapeutic model for disc degeneration.

TL;DR: The results suggest that MSC transplantation is effective in decelerating disc degeneration in experimental models and provided new hopes for treatment of degenerative disc disease in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regenerative effects of transplanting mesenchymal stem cells embedded in atelocollagen to the degenerated intervertebral disc.

TL;DR: Data indicate that transplantation of MSCs effectively led to regeneration of IVDs in a rabbit model of disc degeneration as suggested in a previous pilot study, indicating that MSC's may serve as a valuable resource in cell transplantation therapy for degenerative disc disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Transplanted to a Rabbit Degenerative Disc Model : Potential and Limitations for Stem Cell Therapy in Disc Regeneration

TL;DR: MSCs transplanted to degenerative discs in rabbits proliferated and differentiated into cells expressing some of the major phenotypic characteristics of nucleus pulposus cells, suggesting that these MSCs may have undergone site-dependent differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of myogenic-endothelial progenitor cells in the interstitial spaces of skeletal muscle.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that myo-endothelial progenitors reside in the interstitial spaces of mammalian skeletal muscles, and that they can potentially contribute to postnatal skeletal muscle growth.
