US EditionRevolutionary cartilage regeneration technology developed by Chicago scientists
- Researchers at Northwestern University developed a bioactive material that regenerates high-quality cartilage in knee joints, as reported by Northwestern University scientists.
- This material showed promising results in animal models, potentially reducing knee replacement surgeries and improving treatments for osteoarthritis and sports injuries.
- Injections of the material into cartilage defects led to new cartilage growth and higher quality repaired tissue compared to controls, as stated in the study.

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 biomaterial is able to mimic the surrounding cartilage environment and can cure degenerative diseases. The substance is shaped like a gum and has regenerated sheep's knee joints.
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.
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
