With great pride and satisfaction, the Radiology Research Center of Tehran University of Medical Sciences announces that its original research article entitled
“Genicular Artery Embolization Using Mesenchymal Stem Cells for the Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis: A Prospective Study”
has been selected among the Top Seven Articles of 2025 by the prestigious international journal Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology (JVIR).

This study investigates an innovative approach to the treatment of knee osteoarthritis, with a particular focus on the use of stem cell therapy. Stem cells possess the unique ability to differentiate into various specialized cell types, and when injected into the knee joint, they contribute—through multiple biological mechanisms—to the repair and regeneration of damaged cartilage, leading to significant pain relief and clinical improvement in patients.

This achievement stands as clear evidence of the strong research capacity and innovative spirit of the Radiology Research Center at Tehran University of Medical Sciences, as well as its ongoing commitment to advancing scientific knowledge and promoting public health.

The recognition of this article by JVIR—widely regarded as one of the most authoritative and highly cited journals in the field of radiology worldwide—represents a valuable opportunity to showcase national scientific achievements and to foster international scientific collaboration with leading research centers and universities across the globe.
