Wnt5a/Platelet‐rich plasma synergistically inhibits IL‐1β‐induced inflammatory activity through NF‐κB signaling pathway and prevents cartilage damage and promotes meniscus regeneration

Noncanonical Wnt5a is a particularly attractive growth factor to maintain chondrogenesis. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous blood-derived product and a source of bioactive growth factors involved in tissue regeneration. The present study aimed to investigate the effect and inflammation reaction of Wnt5a/PRP on meniscus cells, and evaluate meniscus regeneration and osteoarthritis (OA) prevention by the application of Wnt5a/PRP gel in a...
