Core Tip	There are several published reviews of the role of multipotent stromal cells in osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. However, there is also need for additional current therapeutic options and clinical trials of multipotent stromal cells for OA. We review additional therapeutic potentials of mesenchymal stem cells in knee OA using either autogenous or allogenic cells. Direct intra-articular injections of cells in suspension become a delivery method, being both relatively simple and cost effective compared to major surgical procedures. The amount of cells injected is a critical factor; higher numbers of cells resulting in greater pain reduction and increased cartilage volume.
