The Arthritis Foundation has listed an amazing scientific discovery as one of the top 10 advances of 2007.
Some engineers have recently created a new framework upon which cartilage tissue can be grown. The scaffold is porous, so the 'fabric' type framework can be seeded with cells and transplanted into a joint damaged by arthritis.
The woven 'fabric' will be absorbed by the body, leaving only healthy, strong cartilage for those who suffer from osteoarthritis or other cartilage injuries.
Amazing! There are more discoveries all the time on treatments for arthritis. I hope this information can help you. Refer to the directories under 'more arthritis links' for more research, discoveries and how to help yourself.
