Study typeApplicationCell sourceAdministration routePatientsFollow-up time (month)Results

Lendeckel et al. [75]CaseBoneHumanImplantation13The CT scans showed new bone formation and near-complete calvarial continuity
Sándor et al. [76]CaseBoneHumanImplantation1312-52Successful integration of the surrounding skeleton; the construct was noted in 10 of the 13 cases
Thesleff et al. [77]CaseBoneHumanImplantation579.2The clinical results are not superior to results achieved by conventional cranial repair methods
Vériter et al. [78]CaseBoneHumanImplantation171-54ADSC therapy is safe and feasible for clinical indications
Spasovski et al. [99]CaseCartilageHumanInjection918MOCART score showed significant cartilage restoration
Song et al. [100]ComparativeCartilageHumanInjection1824The high-dose group of ADSCs exhibited the highest improvement
Pak et al. [102]CaseCartilageHumanInjection9130VAS improved 50–60%
No major complications
Koh et al. [103]CaseCartilageHumanInjection442494% patients excellent or good satisfaction; 76% abnormal repair
Bydon et al. [123]CaseNerveHumanInjection118The subjective and objective measures showed different degrees of improvement
Konstanty-Kalandyk et al. [136]CaseMyocardiumHumanInjection151No major complications
Houtgraaf et al. [148]ComparativeMyocardiumHumanInjection106ADSC infusion could improve cardiac function and perfusion defects, accompanied by a 50% reduction in myocardial scar formation
Huang et al. [160]CaseLiverHumanInjection66The METAVIR score, Child-Pugh score, and MELD score showed positive results
Gotze et al. [161]CaseLiverHumanInjection31-2The reduction of liver stiffness and increase of 13C methacetin breath test outcome were observed
Jo et al. [176]CaseLiverHumanInjection4In these cases, they observed rapid coverage of the wound with the patient’s regenerated tissue
