Stem cells have long been proclaimed as the possible solution, for many devastating conditions such as but not limited to osteoarthritis. The proposal has been supported by various clinical data published in worldwide journals; never the less many exciting new studies are on the way to confirm the effectiveness of these cells in managing early knee pain. The studies are now focussing on the comparative analysis of effectiveness of different cells in treating the OA. The aim of these studies is to stop the disease progression, repair the loss and manage the pain with the best suitable source of stem cells. The studies are more emphasizing on the patients, who have been early affected with the condition, as there are more chances of reversal of the issue if you opt for the treatment early. Hopefully, researchers can identify potential patients who are likely to get maximum benefits in the future.

As expected, different studies have so far confirmed all the milestones that have been proposed. Out of different sources of stem cells, it is confirmed that there has been successful differentiation of cartilaginous cells from mesenchymal stem cells; which are extracted from extra embryonic tissues. These mesenchymal stem cells are well known to channelize the immune system and balancing the same for maximized output. For that matter, they can be good candidate for allogenic use. The main advantage of this approach would be to remove the need of knee replacement surgeries, which can welcome many opportunistic infections with the increased chances of knee rejection. Whereas, mesenchymal stem cells isolated from extra embryonic tissues can modify body’s repair mechanism and growth factors to promote faster synthesis of required cells, thereby initiating faster healing. These studies have as well anticipated that stem cells implanted in between the joints by stimulating them with patients own platelet rich plasma can treat the condition by regenerating cartilaginous cells along with the production of some tissue specific cells to heal the defects in joints and manage the pain.

The stem cells treatment can be offered to the patient by examining them thoroughly to know the stage of development of disease through X-ray analysis. The pre-specified amount of mesenchymal stem cells activated with your own platelet rich plasma will be re-infused in your joints. Once inside the joints, these stem cells will regularize your immune system, boost the production of cartilaginous cells and revitalize damaged cells to accelerate the healing. These stem cells can thus be helpful in managing the symptoms associated with OA.

Thus, utilization of mesenchymal stem cells and healing the defects of cartilages to reset underlying arthritis can be a valuable approach; confirming the fact that stem cells treatment could have huge impact as a possible solution for variety of patients suffering from arthritis.
