A Colorado research team has created experimental osteoarthritis treatments that appear to regenerate damaged joints rather than just relieve pain. In animal studies, a single injection restored arthritic joints to a healthy state within weeks, while a second therapy repaired cartilage and bone defects by harnessing the body’s own healing cells.
New regenerative therapies may one day allow damaged arthritic joints to heal themselves—potentially transforming treatment from pain management to true repair.
