Stem cell secretome-enriched hydrogels as a potential therapeutic approach for osteoarthritis
Key Takeaways
  • ASC secretome preserved chondrocyte metabolic activity under inflammation.
  • Secretome-loaded hydrogel showed lower pro-inflammatory mediator levels.
  • Findings are from an in vitro model and remain unproven in vivo.
