Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Enhance Cartilage Healing in a Murine Joint Surface Injury Model (2021)
Journal Article
McCarthy, H., Perry, J., Mennan, C., & Wright, K. (2021). Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Enhance Cartilage Healing in a Murine Joint Surface Injury Model. Cells, 1-16. https://doi.org/10.3390/cells10081999

Human umbilical cord (hUC)- or bone marrow (hBM)-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) were evaluated as an allogeneic source of cells for cartilage repair. We aimed to determine if they could enhance healing of chondral defects with or without th...

Journal Article
Lan, T., McCarthy, H., Hulme, C., Wright, K., & Makwana, N. (2021). The Management of Talar Osteochondral Lesions - Current Concepts. Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery, 231-237. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jajs.2021.04.002

Osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs) are a common complication following trauma, involving both the articular cartilage and the underlying subchondral bone, with variable aetiologies and often presenting with non-specific symptoms. Diagnosis of... Read More about The Management of Talar Osteochondral Lesions - Current Concepts.

Perlecan in the Natural and Cell Therapy Repair of Human Adult Articular Cartilage: Can Modifications in This Proteoglycan Be a Novel Therapeutic Approach? (2021)
Journal Article
Garcia, J., McCarthy, H. S., Kuiper, J. H., Melrose, J., & Roberts, S. (2021). Perlecan in the Natural and Cell Therapy Repair of Human Adult Articular Cartilage: Can Modifications in This Proteoglycan Be a Novel Therapeutic Approach?. Biomolecules, 11(1), Article ARTN 92. https://doi.org/10.3390/biom11010092

Articular cartilage is considered to have limited regenerative capacity, which has led to the search for therapies to limit or halt the progression of its destruction. Perlecan, a multifunctional heparan sulphate (HS) proteoglycan, promotes embryonic...
