Human adipose-derived stromal/stem cells expressing doublecortin improve cartilage repair in rabbits and monkeys

Abstract Localized cartilage lesions in early osteoarthritis and acute joint injuries are usually treated surgically to restore function and relieve pain. However, a persistent clinical challenge remains in how to repair the cartilage lesions. We expressed doublecortin (DCX) in human adipose-derived...
