Regenerative Therapy in Osteoarthritis Using Umbilical Cord‐Origin Mesenchymal Stem Cells: A Critical Appraisal of Clinical Safety and Efficacy Through Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
UC-MSC treatment in patients with knee osteoarthritis is a safe and effective method for improving pain and motor function, and it represents a promising alternative to traditional treatments. Given the promising results of this study, further prospective studies with a standardized design and economic evaluations are recommended to enable wider clinical application of this method.
