Stanford scientists regrow lost cartilage and reverse arthritis in major breakthrough
Reported byScienceDaily ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Stanford Medicine researchers blocking the aging-related protein 15-PGDH restored lost knee cartilage in older mice and prevented arthritis after serious joint injuries; human cartilage samples showed similar regeneration signs, with an oral version already in clinical trials for age-related muscle weakness.
Human trials are ongoing; the treatment has not yet been approved for use in patients with arthritis.
