Abstract
There is a lack of standardization with respect to the quantitative and qualitative characterization of methods for cell-harvest, cell-processing, and cell-transplantation/delivery. Cell-therapy holds promise as a means of restoring local cell populations that are made deficient because of injury or disease. However, the orthopedic community and patients will benefit greatly by a greater investment in blinded, randomized, controlled trials and clinical effectiveness trials that embrace rigorous standards.
