Autologous chondrocyte implantation has been used to some extent in clinics; however it has not generated efficient, reliable results, and there is no evidence of long-term success. The usage of stem cells is more promising, particularly mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).

Applying regenerative medicine to a common shoulder surgery could have an impact on the need for follow-up revision surgery in some patients, according to a Mayo Clinic study of real-world evidence.
Stem Cells - Your Body's Natural Healing Powerhouse

Have you ever wondered how your body can heal cuts, scrapes, and broken bones? The answer lies in stem cells. Stem cells can differentiate into specific functions, such as skin, muscle, and bone cells. This ability to differentiate makes stem cells incredibly versatile and powerful in promoting natural healing in the body.
High throughput screening of mesenchymal stem cell lines using deep learning

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are increasingly used as regenerative therapies for patients in the preclinical and clinical phases of various diseases. However, the main limitations of such therapies include functional heterogeneity and the lack of appropriate quality control (QC) methods for functional screening of MSC lines; thus, clinical outcomes are inconsistent.
