Cartilage regeneration in adults is limited, but recent research shows promise in implanting micro-scaffolds and using hydrogels to stimulate growth. Other methods include cell extraction, growth hormones, and microfractures. Most approaches are still in animal trials, but offer hope for treating joint pain and long-term degeneration. There is some medical controversy as to whether the […]
Medical research is exploring different angles to find a cure for spinal cord injuries. Studies have shown that damaged axons and high levels of fibrinogen can inhibit neuron repair. While there is optimism, a single cure is unlikely, and it may take time to find a solution. For many years it was thought that regeneration […]
