Engineered cartilage from nasal septum cells helps treat complex knee injuries
(sciencedaily.com)
Injuries to the articular cartilage in different joints, including the knee, are painful and limit mobility. Therefore, researchers at the University of Basel and University Hospital Basel are developing cartilage implants using cells from the patient's nasal septum.
