Can stem cell injections treat knee osteoarthritis?
In this study, the group hypothesized that injecting these cells into knee joints could serve as an intervention to treat patients.
In a preliminary trial, the group treated 30 patients (27 women and three men, mean age 61 years old) with moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis. In each patient, clinicians injected a solution of stem cells (70 million allogeneic cells) into the genicular arteries, a network that supplies blood to structures around the knee.
All of the patients were admitted for one day following the procedure. MRIs of patients’ knees were acquired prior to the procedure and at one, six, and nine months ...
