Journal Article
Khan, M. R., Dudhia, J., David, F. H., De Godoy, R., Mehra, V., Hughes, G., …Smith, R. K. W. (2018). Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells do not enhance intra-synovial tendon healing despite engraftment and homing to niches within the synovium. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13287-018-0900-7

Intra-synovial tendon injuries display poor healing, which often results in reduced functionality and pain. A lack of effective therapeutic options has led to experimental approaches to augment natural tendon repair with autologous mesenchymal stem c...
