Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can treat osteoarthritis (OA), but their therapeutic efficacy is poor to date due to low migration efficiency. This study aimed to determine whether ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD) could ameliorate cartilage repair efficiency through facilitating the migration of MSCs via hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α)-mediated glycolysis regulatory pathway in OA model rats.
