Scientists at Stanford Medicine have discovered a treatment that can reverse cartilage loss in aging joints and even prevent arthritis after knee injuries. By blocking a protein linked to aging, the therapy restored healthy, shock-absorbing cartilage in old mice and injured joints, dramatically improving movement and joint function. Human cartilage samples from knee replacement surgeries also began regenerating when exposed to the treatment.

    in mice.

    Still promising, but you can almost always append “in mice” to these kinds of headlines.

      And if you’re in the US you can append “only in rich people” as well.

      Of course, but they’ve also seen the effects in human tissue samples. Also this reference about already having used the inhibitor in human volunteers for muscle weakness shows good promise:

      Blau added, “Phase 1 clinical trials of a 15-PGDH inhibitor for muscle weakness have shown that it is safe and active in healthy volunteers. Our hope is that a similar trial will be launched soon to test its effect in cartilage regeneration. …”
