Abstract:Background The stromal-vascular fraction (SVF), comprising heterogeneous cell populations and adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), has therapeutic potential against osteoarthritis (OA); however, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. This study investigated the therapeutic effects of the heterogeneous cells in rabbit SVF on rabbit chondrocytes and compared them with those of two different ADSCs adjusted for their stem cell content.Methods Animals were divided into control, low-dose ADSCs (lADSC; 1×104 ADSCs)… Show more
