Human Umbilical-Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Combination with Rapamycin Reduce Cartilage Degradation via Inhibition of the AKT/mTOR Signaling Pathway

Scientists explored the role of rapamycin combined with human umbilical-cord-derived MSCs in osteoarthritis (OA)rabbits in vivo. OA rabbits received an intra-articular injection of a collagenase solution.
