Transcript profiles for COX2 and S100 protein are compatible with chondrogenic differentiation of stromal cells [ 61, 62], but the consistent deficiency of cartilage matrix protein biomarkers highlighted by the switch of type I collagen (COL1A1, COL1A2) in place of type II collagen (COL2A1) as the primary fibrillar collagen document the failure of true hyaline cartilage restoration.
However, ECHOES-X included some participants particularly at high risk of heart failure, so to have a true baseline group to calculate heart failure progression, the general population group should be considered alone (table 5).
Figure 1 describes frequency of presence of various criteria for treatment failure and of true clinical deterioration.
