Description: 要如何才能讓骨骼大量重生呢？一般的骨骼再生--把骨骼從病人的髖部取出並移植到其它部位的受損骨骼--是有條件限制的，也會在術後數年內讓病人疼痛不堪。茉莉．史蒂文斯介紹了幹細胞的一種新應用，它駕馭了骨骼先天的再生能力使其大量再生--而且不會痛。

要如何才能讓骨骼大量重生呢？一般的骨骼再生--把骨骼從病人的髖部取出並移植到其它部位的受損骨骼--是有條件限制的，也會在術後數年內讓病人疼痛不堪。茉莉．史蒂文斯介紹了幹細胞的一種新應用，它駕馭了骨骼先天的再生能力使其大量再生--而且不會痛。

New approaches in regenerative medicine are making it possible to grow large amounts of bone inside the body, bypassing the pain and limits of traditional bone grafting. By cleverly harnessing the body’s own stem cells using a simple injected gel, researchers create on-demand bone that can be harvested with minimal aftereffects. This breakthrough eliminates the need for painful iliac crest harvesting, which can leave patients suffering for years. The same principles are now inspiring advances in tissue engineering for cartilage and even heart repair.
