Article Synopsis
- Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) show promise for repairing cartilage injuries, but their effectiveness compared to traditional autologous chondrocyte (autoC) treatments is not fully understood.
- A study on New Zealand White rabbits assessed cartilage regeneration after treating defects with either allogenic MSCs (alloMSCs) or autoC, finding higher Brittberg scores in the alloMSC group, although both treatments yielded similar overall results.
- The findings suggest that alloMSCs are comparably effective to autoC for cartilage defect repair and support the potential of MSCs in clinical therapies.
Autologous chondrocyte transplantation in the repair of full-thickness focal cartilage damage in rabbits.

Purpose: To compare the efficacy of autologous chondrocyte transplantation (ACT) versus non-operative measures for cartilage repair in rabbits.
Methods: Nine New Zealand white rabbits were used. Identical focal defects were created in the articular cartilage of both knees.
