Cartilage cells from the nasal septum can not only help repair cartilage injuries in the knee – according to researchers from the University of Basel and the University Hospital of Basel, they ...

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

Cartilage cells from the nasal septum can not only help repair cartilage injuries in the knee -- according to researchers, they can also withstand the chronic inflammatory tissue environment in ...

Cells from the nasal septum can be used to generate cartilage tissue grafts for knee repair, according to a proof-of-principle study that enrolled 10 patients. The nasal chondrocyte grafts ...

For years, a research team led by Professor Ivan Martin, Dr. Marcus Mumme, and Professor Andrea Barbero has been refining a technique to repair damaged cartilage using cells from the nasal septum.

Sometimes the cartilage of the septum can bend and deform with age. For others, their deviated septum is the result of an injury, such as bumping their nose while a toddler, during contact sports ...

Since 2001, Martin and his team have been investigating a new surgical approach to repairing knees. It uses engineered cartilage tissue grown from patients’ own cells, taken from the nasal septum.

The lower half, in turn, is attached to the nasal septal cartilage, which helps make up the septum. Rear (posterior) border: The back side of this bone is concave, and a little shorter and thicker ...

"We take a small piece of cartilage from the nasal septum of our patients, culture it on a structurally supportive collagen matrix, and implant it four weeks later into the damaged knee to ...
