Athletes know that damage to a tendon can signal an end to their professional careers. But a consortium of scientists, led in part by University of Southern California (USC) School of Dentistry researcher Songtao Shi, has identified unique cells within the adult tendon that have stem-cell characteristics--including the ability to proliferate and self-renew. <a href="http://www.cellmedicine.com/news220.asp" TARGET="_blank">Read More</a>]]></description>

A clinical trial involving the use of stem cells to repair a torn meniscus (cartilage in the knee) is now being tested at Triangle Orthopaedic Associates, the Triangle’s premier orthopaedic practice. Triangle Orthopaedics is currently evaluating Chondrogen, a stem cell solution developed by Baltimore-based Osiris Therapeutics, Inc. for treating this common knee injury. <a href="http://www.cellmedicine.com/news172.asp" TARGET="_blank">Read More</a>]]></description>

German researchers have developed an alternative therapy for cartilage replacement, based on using the body\'s own stem cells and self-healing processes.  The new procedure, known as AMIC (autologous matrix induced chondrogenesis,) is being tested in clinics in Regensburg, Hanover, Freiburg and Potsdam. <a href="http://www.cellmedicine.com/news145.asp" TARGET="_blank">Read More</a>]]></description>

Researchers at the University of Guelph are hoping stem cells might provide the needed tissue replacements for cartilage - an exceptionally slow-healing tissue.  As anyone who’s ever injured a knee or elbow will tell you, recovery can be a long and painful process.  Missing or damaged tissue is often irreplaceable, but that could soon change thanks to current research. <a href="http://www.cellmedicine.com/news93.asp" TARGET="_blank">Read More</a>]]></description>

Unlocking the ability for accelerated self repair of the joint is the primary goal. Those individuals who only require small amounts of cartilage to grow are the preliminary group to try the new alternatives. The techniques, if they do indeed work, could help people with arthritis as well since their cartilage breaks down over time. <a href="http://www.cellmedicine.com/news27.asp" TARGET="_blank">Read More</a>]]></description>
