TLDR
Implantation of a TEC into chondral defects initiated repair with a chondrogenic-like tissue, as well as secure biological integration to the adjacent cartilage, which revealed mechanical properties similar to those of normal porcine cartilage in static compression and friction tests.

On the mechanisms of biocompatibility.

David F. Williams
- 01 Jul 2008 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that, in the vast majority of circumstances, the sole requirement for biocompatibility in a medical device intended for long-term contact with the tissues of the human body is that the material shall do no harm to those tissues, achieved through chemical and biological inertness.

Unlike Bone, Cartilage Regeneration Remains Elusive

TL;DR: Bone-regeneration successes are used to highlight cartilage- Regeneration challenges: such as selecting appropriate cell sources and scaffolds, creating biomechanically suitable tissues, and integrating to native tissue.

Safety and Complications Reporting Update on the Re-Implantation of Culture-Expanded Mesenchymal Stem Cells Using Autologous Platelet Lysate Technique

TL;DR: Using both high field MRI tracking and general surveillance in 227 patients, no neoplastic complications were detected at any stem cell re-implantation site, consistent with other reports that also show no evidence of malignant transformation in vivo, following implantation of MSCs that were expanded in vitro for limited periods.

Articular cartilage repair: basic science and clinical progress. A review of the current status and prospects.

TL;DR: The existence of many new and encouraging biological approaches to cartilage repair justifies the future investment of time and money in this research area, particularly given the extremely high socio-economic importance of such therapeutic strategies in the prevention and treatment of these common joint diseases and traumas.

Biomedical applications of collagen

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed biomedical applications of collagen including the collagen film, which was developed as a matrix system for evaluation of tissue calcification and for the embedding of a single cell suspension for tumorigenic study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multipotent mesenchymal stem cells from adult human synovial membrane

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that human multipotent MSCs can be isolated from the SM of knee joints and have the ability to proliferate extensively in culture, and they maintain their multilineage differentiation potential in vitro, establishing their progenitor cell nature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of human stem cells derived from various mesenchymal tissues: Superiority of synovium as a cell source

TL;DR: There are significant differences in MSC properties according to tissue source, beyond donor and experimental variation, and Superiority of synovium as a potential source of MSCs for clinical applications was demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human embryonic stem cells express an immunogenic nonhuman sialic acid

TL;DR: Levels of Neu5Gc on HESC and embryoid bodies dropped after culture in heat-inactivated anti-Neu5 Gc antibody–negative human serum, reducing binding of antibodies and complement from high-titer sera, while allowing maintenance of the undifferentiated state.
