Targeted Treatment For Arthritis, Thanks To Stem Cell Discovery

Wednesday, June 10, 2015 - 05:06 in Biology & Nature

Researchers have identified individual stem cells that can regenerate tissue, cartilage and bone.The stem cells are mixed within human bone marrow stromal cells (MSCs) but are similar in appearance and previously, scientists had difficulty in distinguishing between them. The researchers isolated individual MSCs and analyzed their different properties. This allowed researchers to identify those stem cells which are capable of repairing damaged cartilage or joint tissue opening the way for improved treatment for arthritis. read more
