Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes Preserve Cartilage Homeostasis and Restore Joint Function in Experimental Osteoarthritis.
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have shown therapeutic potential for osteoarthritis (OA), but their clinical application is limited by the need for extensive ex vivo expansion. Human umbilical cord MSC-derived exosomes (hUCMSC-Exos) have emerged as a promising cell-free alternative because of their cartilage-protective a...
