Synovial mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are an attractive cell source for transplantation in the meniscus of the knee because of their high chondrogenic potential. This study describes the morphological features of synovial MSC adhesion to the meniscus and provides ways to increase the number of adherent MSCs so that clinical outcomes can be improved.
