The final goal? Better treatments for people and animals. “If we can better reproduce the cartilage and ensure that repairs are properly integrated into the rest of the joint, the joints will remain healthy for longer. A healthy musculoskeletal system is increasingly determining healthy aging. Especially now that we are getting better at healing other conditions such as cardiovascular disease and cancer, and older people live longer.”
