Revolutionary cartilage regeneration technology developed by Chicago scientists
It’s the holy grail in orthopedics: Finding a way to enhance damaged or naturally deteriorating cartilage. Now a finding in the lab stands to revolutionize joint care, turning back the hands of time. Once the body is done growing at about age 18, so is our cartilage. And as we age – the thin layer of tissue that covers our joints wears down. Dr Samuel Stupp is a materials scientist with Northwestern University. “It doesn’t regenerate easily at …
New bioactive material regenerates high-quality cartilage in the knee joints of large-animal model
Northwestern University scientists have developed a new bioactive material that successfully regenerated high-quality cartilage in the knee joints of a large-animal model.
Scientists develop a new biomaterial capable of regenerating damaged cartilage in joints.
Cartilage is a crucial component of joints. When it is damaged, it can have a significant impact on general health and joint mobility in people. And the problem is that, in adult humans, it does not have an inherent healing capacity and is difficult to repair. Now, Northwestern University scientists have developed a new bioactive material that successfully regenerated high-quality cartilage in the knee joints of large animal models. The material…
Cartilage Regeneration Breakthrough Ushers In a New Era of Joint Health
Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a bioactive material capable of regenerating high-quality cartilage in knee joints. This new material, which closely mimics the natural environment of cartilage, has shown promising results in animal models, potentially reducing the need for k
