SYNOVIAL FLUID PROTEOMICS AND BIOINFORMATICS HIGHLIGHTS POTENTIAL MECHANISMS OF UMBILICAL CORD-MSC INDUCED RADIOLOGICAL IMPROVEMENT IN AN OVINE MODEL OF OSTEOARTHRITIS (2023)
Journal Article

AbstractObjectivesA promising therapy for early osteoarthritis (OA) is the transplantation of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hUC-MSCs). The synovial fluid (SF) from a pre-clinical ovine model treated with hUC-MSCs has been pr...

Comparison of Knee Articular Cartilage Defect Size Between Measurements Obtained on Preoperative MRI Versus During Arthrotomy (2023)
Journal Article

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...

Identification of Candidate Synovial Fluid Biomarkers for the Prediction of Patient Outcome After Microfracture or Osteotomy (2021)
Journal Article

Background: Biomarkers are needed to predict clinical outcomes for microfracture and osteotomy surgeries to ensure patients can be better stratified to receive the most appropriate treatment. Purpose: To identify novel biomarker candidates and to...

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

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...

Human Articular Chondrocytes Retain Their Phenotype in Sustained Hypoxia While Normoxia Promotes Their Immunomodulatory Potential (2019)
Journal Article

Objective To assess the phenotype of human articular chondrocytes cultured in normoxia (21% O2) or continuous hypoxia (2% O2). Design Chondrocytes were extracted from patients undergoing total knee replacement (n = 5) and cultured in ~21% (normo...

Combined Autologous Chondrocyte and Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Implantation in the Knee: An 8-year Follow Up of Two First-In-Man Cases (2019)
Journal Article

Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) has been used to treat cartilage defects for >20 years, with promising clinical outcomes. Here, we report two first-in-man cases (patient A and B) treated with combined autologous chondrocyte and bone marrow...
