UConn Scientists are Regrowing Cartilage to Combat Arthritis

The team has developed a new ‘tissue scaffold’ that aims to change the way we treat arthritis.

Arthritis affects nearly a quarter of all adults in the United States. There are medications that treat the symptoms and slow their progression, but no definitive way to reverse cartilage degeneration. There are procedures that replace damaged cartilage with healthy tissue taken from other areas of the body or from a donor. However, healthy cartilage is in low supply, and donor cartilage could be rejected by the recipient’s immune system. Thankfully, a recent Today article discussed a new breakthrough that could change the conversation around treating damaged cartilage.
