Anti-Aging Injection Regrows Knee Cartilage and Prevents Arthritis
Anti-Aging Injection Regrows Knee Cartilage and Prevents Arthritis
Researchers at Stanford Medicine have discovered an anti-aging injection that effectively regrows knee cartilage and prevents arthritis in older and injured mice by blocking the protein 15-PGDH, a gerozyme that increases with age. This treatment, which works by reprogramming existing chondrocyte cells rather than relying on stem cells, has also shown positive results in human knee tissue samples, promoting the formation of new, functional cartilage. A pill-based version of the therapy is currently in clinical trials for muscle weakness, offering hope for a non-surgical solution to osteoarthritis and joint damage.
Note
i need to stop scitechdaily from getting into my feed.
on one hand, there is some interesting research happening. and i have a self interest in knee health given my injuries.
with that said, exciting research based on mice studies rarely come to light in humans. when it does, it takes time to rule out toxicity and rule in effectiveness.
the comments on this article from people around the world who are ageing and want to avoid knee surgeries is telling of the problems with science research publication today.
