If you’re suffering serious arthritis and your cartilage and bone have begun wear away, you’re probably on the waiting list for joint replacement surgery.
But there could be another simpler and safer medical procedure on the horizon, as reported in the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.
A procedure that requires little more than a specific silk mat to heal your joints.
Indian and British researchers constructed and tested materials that can replace your damaged cartilage and bone—and can even help new cartilage and bone to grow.
Their most successful experiment involved the construction of mats from silk proteins and bioactive glass fibers. Then they add your own cells in the mix.
They spin these mats with layers that resembled the softness of cartilage and the hardness of bone.
Because there are cells mixed in with the synthetic material, once it is implanted in your joint, the cells begin to duplicate while the synthetic material degrades with time.
In this way, the mats allow your body to create new cartilage and bone to replace the old damaged ones.
This has not been tested on humans or animals yet… but it could give hope to people with severe joint damage who don’t want to undergo replacement surgery.
