The functional role of chondrogenic stem/progenitor cells: novel evidence for immunomodulatory properties and regenerative potential after cartilage injury

Considering the poor intrinsic healing potential of articular cartilage, resident chondrogenic stem/progenitor cells (CSPCs) have gained attention in recent years. Although, CSPCs are attracted by a cartilage injury, knowledge about the post-traumatic behaviour and functional role of this cell popul...
