Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ADSCs): These stem cells are obtained from fat tissue and have regenerative properties similar to MSCs. They can be injected directly into the affected joint to promote cartilage growth and reduce inflammation
Bone Marrow-Derived Stem Cells: These stem cells are harvested from the bone marrow and are often used for joint and bone repair. They are known for their ability to regenerate cartilage and improve tissue repair in the affected joints.
Slowing Disease Progression
For both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, stem cell therapy may slow the progression of joint degeneration. By regenerating damaged tissue and reducing inflammation, stem cells help prevent further destruction of the joint, which can delay the need for more invasive treatments such as joint replacement surgery.
