New Target Discovered That Stops Progress of Osteoarthritis by Pooja Shete on January 20, 2021 at 12:38 AM
Currently there is no cure osteoarthritis. A group of scientists have discovered a new method by which a simple knee injection can potentially stop the disease s effects. The researchers showed that by targeting specific protein pathway in mice, they can be put into overdrive and halt the cartilage degeneration over time.
Using these findings, they were able to show that by treating mice with surgery-induced knee cartilage degeneration through nanomedicine could dramatically reduce the cartilage degeneration and knee pain.
The study conducted by Penn Engineering is published in the journal
