Innovative Biomaterial Offers Promise for Regenerating Cartilage in Damaged Joint
supply. Surgery can help, but recovery is long and tough. Researchers at Northwestern University have created a new bioactive material that regenerates high-quality cartilage in animal knees. This breakthrough builds on a 2021 study where “dancing molecules” helped repair spinal cord injuries by activating gene expression needed for tissue regeneration. The same molecules triggered cartilage…
