Description
Doo-Ho Lim, Chae-Chil Lee, and Ki-Bong Park review cell therapy for knee osteoarthritis and the terms used for its cells, in a review paper from 2026. Trials of mesenchymal cells for worn knees have multiplied worldwide. Mixed cell sources, prep methods, and study designs make the results hard to compare.
The review explains the shift in name from mesenchymal stem cells to mesenchymal stromal cells. Recent approvals back the new name, since the cells seem to calm the immune system rather than rebuild tissue directly. Their effects run mainly through signals and tiny packets called exosomes. The authors also sort light-touch cell concentrates from lab-grown batches and the rules that govern each. They urge one shared name and cleaner prep standards.
