http://www.stemcellsarthritistreatment.com Cartilage damage is irreversible. To date, only reconstructive surgical procedures such as joint replacement are the only option available for significant cartilage loss. Cell therapy, using transplantable stem cells with scaffolds, can possible regenerate new cartilage matrix. The potential of mesenchymal stem cells to differentiate into chondrocytes (cartilage cells) with the aid of the proper environment and growth factors makes these cells very attractive for tissue engineering purposes. The combination of three key ingredients... stem cells, growth factors, and a framework is required. http
