“Engineered cartilage from nasal septum cells is helping treat complex knee damage, according to researchers in Switzerland who have developed the implants.

Their new study shows that giving the cartilage implants more time to mature ‘significantly’ improved clinical efficiency and outcomes—even in patients with complex cartilage injuries, which are painful and seriously limit mobility.

Their work also shows that the method could also be suitable for the treatment of degenerated cartilage in osteoarthritis, says the team from the University of Basel.”
