Summary
Stanford Medicine researchers have developed an anti-aging injection that regenerates knee cartilage and prevents arthritis by blocking an age-related protein. The treatment works by reprogramming existing cells rather than using stem cells, and has shown success in restoring cartilage in aging and injured joints in mice studies.
