Growing Cartilage -- No Easy Task; New Nanoscopic Material Enables Cartilage To Do What It Doesn’t Do Naturally, Northwestern University Study
Northwestern University -- EVANSTON, Ill. --- Northwestern University researchers are the first to design a bioactive nanomaterial that promotes the growth of new cartilage in vivo and without the use of expensive growth factors. Minimally invasive, the therapy activates the bone marrow stem cells and produces natural cartilage. No conventional therapy can do this.
