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.

Patients are offered pain relief and, eventually if necessary, joint replacement. Stanford orthopedic surgery researchers now report in the journal Science a breakthrough that leads to cartilage regeneration. They find that blocking an protein called 15-PGDH, short for 15-hydroxy prostaglandin dehydrogenase, that increases with aging, permits cartilage regrowth in older mice and in those with knee injuries. The blocking drug also triggers cartilage regeneration in mice and in human knee cartilage samples obtained from patients undergoing knee replacement surgery. An oral version of this 15-PGDH blocking drug is now available for clinical trials. Hopefully, this agent may reduce the need for joint replacements…..someday soon, https://scitechdaily.com/anti-aging-injection-regrows-knee-cartilage-and-prevents-arthritis/ https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adx6649 #cartilage #joints #pain #jointreplacement".

A treatment that blocks an age-related protein restored cartilage in aging and injured joints by reprogramming existing cells rather than using stem cells. Researchers at Stanford Medicine report that blocking a protein linked to aging can restore cartilage that naturally wears away in the knees

A small modification in your walking gait could delay any need for knee replacement surgery for years. So say University of Utah bioengineers and musculoskeletal researchers after studying a select group of 68 patients with knee arthritis in a year-long placebo-controlled trial. Their Lancet Rheumotology study revealed that a slight change in the foot angle while walking reduced both the pain and destructive changes of osteoarthritis as effectively as pain and anti-inflammatory medications. The necessary change in foot angle varied for each individual: for some, turning the toes slightly inward did the trick, while for others, turning outward worked better. The study participants trained with motion-capture and biofeedback. They then practiced at home until their slightly modified gait felt natural. Remarkably, they stuck with the adjustment for the duration of the study. The most exciting findings: At the study’s conclusion, the MRI scans of those who modified their gaits revealed less cartilage damage than controls. Their pain relief mirrored that achievable with over-the-counter painkillers like ibuprofen and was nearly as good as even stronger agents. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanrhe/article/PIIS2665-9913(25)00151-1/abstract #osteoarthritis #knee #gait #pain #cartilage #jointreplacement".
