Scientists design bioactive nanogel that regenerates cartilage in joints - SmartPlanet: "Researchers at Northwestern University have designed a bioactive nanomaterial that promotes the growth of new cartilage in the body’s joints.
Minimally invasive, the therapy activates bone marrow stem cells to produce natural cartilage, no expensive growth factors necessary.
The discovery is important because while bone can grow back, cartilage does not — leaving athletes and other active individuals with “worn out,” painful joints that can’t be rehabilitated by orthopedic surgeons."
