A pioneering technique that uses cells taken from the nose to repair damaged knees has shown promising results, offering hope for patients with sports injuries and osteoarthritis.

Cartilage, the smooth, rubbery tissue that cushions our joints, does not regenerate naturally.

Traditional treatments, including painkillers, physical therapy, and, in severe cases, joint replacement surgery, are limited in their effectiveness.
