Mechanism of action

JOINTSTEM consists of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells that are expanded ex vivo and injected directly into the joint. These cells differentiate into chondrocytes and produce anti-inflammatory cytokines, promoting cartilage repair and reducing joint inflammation. The therapy aims to halt or reverse degenerative joint disease through tissue regeneration rather than symptom management alone.
