Stem Cell Therapy to prevent Osteoarthritis
Scientists have found a stem cell therapy to prevent osteoarthritis after a joint injury. In the stem cell therapy, MSCs (Mesenchymal Stem Cells) were used in mice with joint injuries. These injuries typically result into arthritis. This scientific finding could result into a therapy that will be used after joint injury. Osteoarthritis means painful and ..
