New Publication: Autologous iPSC- and MSC-derived Chondrocyte Implants for Cartilage Repair in a Miniature Pig Model

We are excited to announce the recent publication of our paper: “Autologous iPSC- and MSC-derived chondrocyte implants for cartilage repair in a miniature pig model,” in Stem Cell Research & Therapy.

This study demonstrates the efficacy of autologous induced pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal stem cells (iMSC)-chondrocyte implants compared to bone marrow-derived MSC-chondrocyte implants in cartilage regeneration using a Yucatan minipig model. Our findings reveal that iMSC-based implants improve cartilage repair outcomes, highlighting the therapeutic promise of iPSCs for regenerative medicine.
