Stem Cell Therapy for Knee Osteoarthritis: Hope, Hype, or Evidence? What Patients Should Know Before Considering Regenerative Medicine for Joint Pain

Image
Knee osteoarthritis is one of the most common reasons patients become interested in regenerative medicine. The story is familiar. Knee pain begins gradually. Walking becomes uncomfortable. Stairs become difficult. Exercise decreases. Pain medications become more frequent. Eventually, the patient begins searching online and encounters terms such as: PRP. Stem cells. MSCs. Exosomes. Cartilage regeneration. But how much of this is supported by science? Understanding Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis is more complicated than simply having “worn-out cartilage.” It involves the entire joint environment, including cartilage, synovium, subchondral bone, ligaments and inflammatory signaling. This is one reason regenerative medicine has become an attractive research area. Instead of merely suppressing pain, researchers are asking whether biologic interventions could influence the joint environment itself. Why Are MSCs Being Studied? Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells possess properties ...
