Researchers in Switzerland are developing cartilage implants using cells from the patient’s nasal septum. The post Cartilage grown from human nose cells used to repair knee injuries appeared ...

Researchers at TU Wien have developed a new way to grow cartilage from stem cells and guide it into basically any shape required. The breakthrough could lead to better ways to patch up injuries.

Growing cartilage tissue in the lab could help patiens with injuries, but it is very hard to make the tissue grow in exactly the right shape. A new approach could solve this problem: Tiny ...

Over several months, the cells multiply in a lab. A second surgery implants the cells in a sealed pocket where damaged cartilage was removed. Over several months, the cells begin to gel and harden.

They established an injectable hybrid inorganic (IHI) nanoscaffold-templated stem cell assembly and applied it to the regeneration of critically-sized cartilage defects.
