Injury of articular cartilage can cause osteoarthritis and seriously affect the physical and mental health of patients. Unfortunately, current surgical treatment techniques that are commonly used in the clinic cannot regenerate articular cartilage. Regenerative medicine involving stem cells has entered a new stage and is considered the most promising way to regenerate articular cartilage. In terms of theories on the mechanism, it was thought that stem cell-mediated articular cartilage regeneration was achieved through the directional differentiation of stem cells into chondrocytes. However, recent evidence has shown that the stem cell secretome plays an important role in biological processes such as the immune response, inflammation regulation, and drug delivery. At the same time, the stem cell secretome can effectively mediate the process of tissue regeneration. This new theory has attributed the therapeutic effect of stem cells to their paracrine effects. The application of stem cells is not limited to exogenous stem cell transplantation. Endogenous stem cell homing and in situ regeneration strategies have received extensive attention. The application of stem cell derivatives, such as conditioned media, extracellular vesicles, and extracellular matrix, is an extension of stem cell paracrine theory. On the other hand, stem cell pretreatment strategies have also shown promising therapeutic effects. This article will systematically review the latest developments in these areas, summarize challenges in articular cartilage regeneration strategies involving stem cells, and describe prospects for future development.

It remains scientifically challenging to regenerate injured cartilage in orthopedics. Recently, an endogenous cell recruitment strategy based on a combination of acellular scaffolds and chemoattractants to specifically and effectively recruit host cells and promote chondrogenic differentiation has brought new hope for in situ articular cartilage regeneration. In this study, a transforming growth factor-β3 (TGF-β3)-loaded biomimetic natural scaffold based on demineralized cancellous bone (DCB) and acellular cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) was developed and found to improve chondral repair by enhancing cell migration and chondrogenesis. The DCB/ECM scaffold has porous microstructures (pore size: 67.76 ± 8.95 μm; porosity: 71.04 ± 1.62%), allowing the prolonged release of TGF-β3 (up to 50% after 42 days in vitro) and infrapatellar fat pad adipose-derived stem cells (IPFSCs) that maintain high cell viability (>96%) and favorable cell distribution and phenotype after seeding onto the DCB/ECM scaffold. The DCB/ECM scaffold itself can also provide a sustained release system to effectively promote IPFSC migration (nearly twofold in vitro). Moreover, TGF-β3 loaded on scaffolds showed enhanced chondrogenic differentiation (such as collagen II, ACAN, and SOX9) of IPFSCs after 3 weeks of culture. After implanting the composite scaffold into the knee joints of rabbits, enhanced chondrogenic differentiation was discovered at 1, 2, and 4 weeks post-surgery, and improved repair of cartilage defects in terms of biochemical, biomechanical, radiological, and histological results was identified at 3 and 6 months post-implantation. To conclude, our study demonstrates that the growth factor (GF)-loaded scaffold can facilitate cell homing, migration, and chondrogenic differentiation and promote the reconstructive effects of in vivo cartilage formation, revealing that this staged regeneration strategy combined with endogenous cell recruitment and pro-chondrogenesis is promising for in situ articular cartilage regeneration.
