Harnessing the diversity and potential of endogenous skeletal stem cells for musculoskeletal tissue regeneration.
Review in Stem cells (Dayton, Ohio), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In our aging society, the degeneration of the musculoskeletal system and adjacent tissues is a growing orthopedic concern. As bones age, they become more fragile, increasing the risk of fractures and injuries. Furthermore, tissues like cartilage accumulate damage, leading to widespread joint issues. Compounding this, the regenerative capacity of these tissues declines with age, exacerbating the consequences of fractures and cartilage deterioration. With rising demand for fracture and cartilage repair, bone-derived stem cells have attracted significant research interest. However, the therapeutic use of stem cells has produced inconsistent results, largely due to ongoing debates and uncertainties regarding the precise identity of the stem cells responsible for musculoskeletal growth, maintenance and repair. This review focuses on the potential to leverage endogenous skeletal stem cells (SSCs)-a well-defined population of stem cells with specific markers, reliable isolation techniques, and functional properties-in bone repair and cartilage regeneration. Understanding SSC behavior in response to injury, including their activation to a functional state, could provide insights into improving treatment outcomes. Techniques like microfracture surgery, which aim to stimulate SSC activity for cartilage repair, are of particular interest. Here, we explore the latest advances in how such interventions may modulate SSC function to enhance bone healing and cartilage regeneration.
