Exciting new research going on in the UK(and elsewhere)

Hi All,
I don't know how I missed this in April - just too busy i guess. But there is some exciting research going on using our own adult stem cells to repair our cartilage.

I do so wish this was a reality now - just think no more surgeries some day.

VERY interesting! Thank you very much for that link, BDM. I am going to copy this into the knee forum as well!

Oh my, where do I sign up? I would gladly let them use my body to do this research on.....but we can hope~~~~ But then, by the time they would permit this to happen in the USA, we will all have those replacements made~
