Pathological Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Stem Cells: Current Evidence and New Perspectives.

abstract：:Known problems of the autologous chondrocyte implantation motivate the search for cellular alternatives. The aim of the study was to test the potential of synovium-derived stem cells (SMSC) to regenerate cartilage using a matrix-associated implantation. In an osteochondral defect model of the medial femoral condyle in...
