These cysts in the back of the knee usually restrict normal range of motion and are painful for the patient. As a result, weâll often recommended drainage before we undertake stem cell therapy for the knee. Bakerâs cysts are usually treated by draining them in a blind fashion (without guidance) and then injecting high dose steroids. This helps for awhile, but then the cyst comes back. Many patients undergo surgery, but this is invasive and requires a lot of downtime and has higher risks than injection.

Fibroblasts are by far the most common native cell type of connective tissue. The fibroblast synthesizes the collagen and ground substance of the extracellular matrix. These cells make a large amount of protein that they secrete to build the connective tissue layer. Some fibroblasts have a contractile function; these are called myofibroblasts. Chondrocytes and osteocytes form the extracellular matrix of cartilage and bone. More details and chondrocytes can be found later in this laboratory; osteocytes will be covered in the Laboratory on Bone. The macrophage is the connective tissue representative of the reticuloendothelial, or mononuclear phagocyte, system.
