Stem cell therapy has emerged as a promising treatment for bone regeneration and cartilage
repair due to its regenerative properties and ability to differentiate into various cell types.
This paper reviews current research on stem cell-based approaches for treating bone and
cartilage injuries, highlighting the mechanisms through which stem cells contribute to tissue
regeneration, the different types of stem cells utilized, and the clinical applications and
challenges faced in these therapies. Despite significant advancements, issues such as
immunogenicity, ethical concerns, and the optimal methods for stem cell transplantation
remain key areas of ongoing research. The potential of stem cell therapy to revolutionize
orthopedic treatment is immense, but further research is needed to refine these techniques for
safe and effective clinical use.
