Scientists achieve breakthrough in knee cartilage regeneration with single injection
Researchers have made a breakthrough in knee joint treatment by developing a method to regenerate cartilage directly within the joint. They silenced the protein 15-PGDH with a single injection, leading to tissue regeneration, pain reduction, and halted progression of arthritis.

This treatment has been validated on human cartilage, opening the door to potential medications in the form of injections or pills. This approach could greatly simplify and improve chronic joint disease therapies in the future.
In the near future, this method could be implemented in clinical practice, offering a more effective and less invasive option for patients suffering from arthritis.
