SPI1 facilitates microfracture-mediated cartilage regeneration in the elderly by enhancing bone marrow stromal cells stemness by Changjiang Wang, Yishu Wang, Yueqiang Gu, Yi Zhu, Rui Yin, Yang Li, Jianchao Gui

“…Bone marrow stimulation treatment by bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) released from the bone medullary cavity and differentiated into cartilage via microfracture surgery is a frequently employed technique for treating articular cartilage injuries, yet the treatment presents a main drawback of poor cartilage regeneration in the elderly. Prior research indicated that aging could decrease the stemness capacity of BMSCs, thus we made a hypothesis that increasing old BMSCs (OBMSCs) stemness might improve the results of microfracture in the elderly. …”
