In a breakthrough, cartilage from nose is used to treat severe knee problems

Researchers have been working on taking cartilage cells from the nose and developing it into tissue that can be implanted elsewhere. After success in animals, two people received this treatment using cartilage cells from their own noses. The patients reported decreased pain and increased quality of life.

Scientists engineer nasal cartilage cells to repair aching knees

In osteoarthritis of the knee, cartilage that should cushion the bones erodes, leaving people in pain. Anti-inflammatory drugs can offer some relief, but they can’t cure the disease or bring back cartilage that’s already lost. Joint replacement gets people moving again, but their implants must eventually be replaced.

Surgeons use nose cells to repair damaged knee joints

Swiss surgeons successfully used an experimental technique, which includes harvesting cells from the nasal septum, to repair damaged knee joints in patients. Two years later, these patients report improvements in pain and knee function, according to a study published Thursday in the journal The Lancet.
