Core Tip |
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is the leading cause of arthritis-related morbidity. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are emerging as living biodrugs, offering a potential treatment option due to their anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. They are available from different tissue sources, and we compare the safety and efficacy of allogenic MSCs vs autologous MSCs in treating KOA in clinical settings, using published data from 19 randomized controlled trials that report visual analog scale scores, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis scores, and adverse events. Our network meta-analysis data reveal that allogenic MSCs may offer superior clinical outcomes at a lower risk of adverse events than autologous MSCs in treating KOA. |
