Description: Arthritis en blessures beschadigen miljoenen gewrichten, maar weinigen krijgen de beste remedie -- echt biologisch weefsel. Kevin Stone toont een behandeling die de hoge kosten en het menselijke donorentekort kan omzeilen door dierlijk weefsel te gebruiken.

Kevin Stone: De bio-toekomst van gewrichtsprotheses

Most joint replacements rely on artificial parts or scarce human tissue, but new breakthroughs use animal tissues to restore function. Half of people who live long lives will develop arthritis, often after years of sports or injury. By stripping donor animal tissues of immune triggers and loading them with a patient's stem cells, doctors can now regrow cartilage and ligaments. This approach promises cheaper, more natural, and widely available solutions for millions suffering from joint pain.
