New Breakthrough to Restore Aging Joints Could Help Treat Osteoarthritis
A study in mice by researchers from Stanford University has traced the loss of cartilage that comes with aging to a single protein, pointing to treatments that may one day restore mobility and ease discomfort in seniors.
A team from Stanford Medicine identified a biological pathway that allowed the regeneration of age-impaired cartilage and the prevention of arthritis in mouse models.The finding arose after blocking the activity of a protein associated with aging.The effects were also observed in human tissue, which opened the possibility of future treatments without joint replacement surgery.The research focused on the 15-PGDH protein, classified as a germ due …
Stanford Scientists Discover Protein Target That Could Reverse Cartilage Damage In Osteoarthritis
New Delhi: In a major breakthrough that could transform the treatment of osteoarthritis, researchers at Stanford University have identified a protein that plays a key role in age-related cartilage loss and joint degeneration. The findings suggest that inhibiting this protein may help regenerate damaged cartilage, offering new hope to millions suffering from joint pain and stiffness. The study, conducted on mice, focused on a protein known as 15-…
