Goodbye joint replacements? Stanford scientists found a way to regrow cartilage and stop arthritis
Summary: Scientists have found a surprising way to regrow damaged knee cartilage by blocking a protein that becomes more abundant with age.
Key points
- Scientists have found a surprising way to regrow damaged knee cartilage by blocking a protein that becomes more abundant with age.
- In old mice, the treatment restored naturally lost cartilage and also helped prevent osteoarthritis after ACL-like knee injuries, while human cartilage taken from knee replacement patients began producing new, functional joint cartilage after exposure to the same inhibitor.
