Comparison of Knee Articular Cartilage Defect Size Between Measurements Obtained on Preoperative MRI Versus During Arthrotomy (2023)
Journal Article
Perry, J., Kuiper, J. H., McCarthy, H. S., Jermin, P., Gallacher, P. D., Tins, B., & Roberts, S. (2023). Comparison of Knee Articular Cartilage Defect Size Between Measurements Obtained on Preoperative MRI Versus During Arthrotomy. Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 11(9), Article 23259671231193380. https://doi.org/10.1177/23259671231193380

Background:
Treatment decisions for cartilage defects are often based on lesion size. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely used to diagnose cartilage defects noninvasively; however, their size estimated from MRI may differ from defect sizes me...

Genomic Sequencing to Diagnose Prosthetic Joint Infection in the Knee: A Case Report (2023)
Journal Article
Wilkinson, H., McCarthy, H. S., Perry, J., Smith, T., Wright, K., & Cool, P. (2023). Genomic Sequencing to Diagnose Prosthetic Joint Infection in the Knee: A Case Report. Cureus, 15(5), https://doi.org/10.7759/cureus.38788

There is currently no "gold-standard" method to diagnose prosthetic joint infections (PJI), and the current practice of using microbiological cultures has many limitations. The identification of the bacterial species causing the infection is crucial... Read More about Genomic Sequencing to Diagnose Prosthetic Joint Infection in the Knee: A Case Report.

Chondrocyte Isolation and Expansion (2022)
Book Chapter
Harrison, P., Hopkins, T., Hulme, C., McCarthy, H., & Wright, K. Chondrocyte Isolation and Expansion. In Cartilage Tissue Engineering (9-19). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-0716-2839-3_2

Chondrocyte isolation requires a combination of enzymatic and mechanical digestion of cartilaginous tissues in order to release the chondrocytes. Extracted primary chondrocytes will then adhere to standard tissue culture plastics, typically in small... Read More about Chondrocyte Isolation and Expansion.

Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Enhance Cartilage Healing in a Murine Joint Surface Injury Model (2021)
Journal Article
Perry, J., Roelofs, A. J., Mennan, C., McCarthy, H. S., Richmond, A., Clark, S. M., …Roberts, S. (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...

The Management of Talar Osteochondral Lesions - Current Concepts (2021)
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...

Injected human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells do not appear to elicit an inflammatory response in a murine model of osteoarthritis (2020)
Journal Article
Perry, J., McCarthy, H., Bou-Gharios, G., van't Hof, R., Milner, P., Mennan, C., & Roberts, S. (2020). Injected human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells do not appear to elicit an inflammatory response in a murine model of osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis and Cartilage Open, 2(2), 100044 - 100044. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ocarto.2020.100044

Objective This study investigated the effect of hUC-MSCs on osteoarthritis (OA) progression in a xenogeneic model. Design Male, 10 week-old C57Bl/6 mice underwent sham surgery (n=15) or partial medial meniscectomy (PMM;n=76). 5x105 hUC-MSCs (from 3 d...
