Higher chondrogenic potential of fibrous synovium– and adipose synovium–derived cells compared with subcutaneous fat–derived cells: Distinguishing properties of mesenchymal stem cells in humans
Tomoyuki Mochizuki,Takeshi Muneta,Yusuke Sakaguchi,Akimoto Nimura,Akiko Yokoyama,Hideyuki Koga,Ichiro Sekiya +6 more
TL;DR: Components of the synovium with subsynovium are compared to determine which is a more suitable source for mesenchymal stem cells, especially for cartilage regeneration and which demonstrates comparable chondrogenic potential.

Subscapularis tendon tear: an anatomic and clinical investigation.
TL;DR: Instability of the biceps tendon should be carefully assessed because it is associated with subscapularis tendon tears at a very high incidence and widely fix sufficiently strong tissue to support the bicep tendon on the uppermost margin, not on the anteromedial portion, of the lesser tuberosity.

Mesenchymal stem cells derived from synovium, meniscus, anterior cruciate ligament, and articular chondrocytes share similar gene expression profiles.
Yuko Segawa,Takeshi Muneta,Hatsune Makino,Akimoto Nimura,Tomoyuki Mochizuki,Young-Jin Ju,Yoichi Ezura,Akihiro Umezawa,Ichiro Sekiya +8 more
TL;DR: Mesenchymal stem cells could be isolated from various intraarticular tissues including meniscus and ligament, gene expression profiles of intraartsicular tissue MSCs closely resembled each other, and the higher expression of PRELP was characteristic of intraartic tissue M SCs.

Analysis of the chondrogenic potential of human synovial stem cells according to harvest site and culture parameters in knees with medial compartment osteoarthritis.
Tsuyoshi Nagase,Takeshi Muneta,Young-Jin Ju,Kenji Hara,Toshiyuki Morito,Hideyuki Koga,Akimoto Nimura,Tomoyuki Mochizuki,Ichiro Sekiya +8 more
TL;DR: The synovium of patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis is examined to determine the proportion of MSCs in relation to cellular compartmentalization, and to identify the culture parameters that could affect the chondrogenic potential of synovial M SCs.

Exogenous synovial stem cells adhere to defect of meniscus and differentiate into cartilage cells.
Keisuke Mizuno,Takeshi Muneta,Toshiyuki Morito,Shizuko Ichinose,Hideyuki Koga,Akimoto Nimura,Tomoyuki Mochizuki,Ichiro Sekiya +7 more
TL;DR: Examination of whether intra-articular injected synovial MSCs adhered to the defect of the meniscus, survived there, and differentiated into cartilage cells found a high chondrogenic potential.
