Stem Cells Potentially Repairing Joint Cartilage

Researchers have identified and characterised unique cell populations that form the superficial zone of human joint cartilage for the first time, the zone has the most critical role in cushioning joints and is often partially or completely lost in arthritis, as published in Nature Communications.

Researchers offer new insights on how gene activity drives development of cartilage; providing a unique molecular atlas of human skeletal development and defining a strategy for joint cartilage repair.
