Nowadays, many technologies have been developed to help arthritis sufferers.
Then, bioengineers at Rice University recently discovered a new technology : using intense pressure to stimulates cartilage cells to grow new tissue with nearly all of the properties of natural cartilage, that’s why it’s called tissue-engineering method. It was reported in the ScienceDaily that the new method will no need stem cells, well, this is the unique advantage point, in my opinion.
Lead researcher Kyriacos Athanasiou, Rice’s Karl F. Hasselmann Professor of Bioengineering mentioned that this technology is very promising not only for cartilage but also for tissues to repair bladders, blood vessels, kidneys, heart valves, bones and more. Great job, Prof!
