Post injury changes in the properties of mesenchymal stem cells derived from human anterior cruciate ligaments

Purpose The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rarely heals spontaneously after rupture. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) contribute to healing in various tissues, therefore, they may also have a key role in healing after ACL rupture. The purpose of this study was to investigate the properties of MSCs in...

Zusammenfassung:Purpose The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rarely heals spontaneously after rupture. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) contribute to healing in various tissues, therefore, they may also have a key role in healing after ACL rupture. The purpose of this study was to investigate the properties of MSCs in ruptured ACLs. Methods Human ACL samples were harvested from patients undergoing primary ACL reconstruction, and samples were classified by the number of days post rupture (phase I
