Colorado researchers develop regenerative injection that reverses osteoarthritis in animal studies
Summary
Researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder, CU Anschutz, and Colorado State University have developed experimental treatments for osteoarthritis that go beyond pain relief to actually regenerate damaged joints. The therapies include a regenerative injection administered directly into joints and a biomaterial-based repair system that harnesses the body's own cells to rebuild cartilage. In animal studies, a single injection reversed signs of osteoarthritis and restored joint health within weeks. The work has received funding and represents a potential breakthrough in treating a condition that affects millions worldwide.

The new approaches include a regenerative injection designed to be administered directly into a joint, as well as a biomaterial-based repair system that encourages the body's own cells to rebuild damaged cartilage.
A single injection restored arthritic joints to a healthy state within weeks, while a second therapy repaired cartilage and bone defects by harnessing the body's own healing cells.
