Despite the high prevalence and morbidity of osteoarthritis (OA), an effective treatment for this disease is currently lacking. Restoration of the diseased articular cartilage in patients with OA ...

Cartilage grown from human nose cells has been used to repair serious KNEE injuries. Engineered cartilage from nasal septum cells helped treat "complex" damage to the articular cartilage which is ...

To accomplish this, the researchers first extract a small sample of cartilage from the patient’s nose and those cells are subsequently multiplied in a lab and then placed on a soft fiber scaffold ...

Injuries to the articular cartilage in different joints, including the knee, are painful and limit mobility. In response, researchers at the University of Basel and University Hospital Basel are ...

To find treatment for knee pain, researchers are using an innovative artificial protein to regenerate the meniscus, a soft half-moon-shaped cartilage that cushions the shin and thigh bones.

Participants with symptomatic unilateral Knee OA will receive single intra-articular injections of PEP™ in escalating doses to evaluate safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy, including ...

Earlier studies have already shown promising results. “Nasal septum cartilage cells have particular characteristics that are ideally suited to cartilage regeneration,” explains Professor Martin.
