Nanomaterial Approaches to Therapy for Osteoarthritis (opens in new tab)

One of the outcomes of the past few decades of focus on the development of tissue engineering and cell therapies is an increased understanding of what can be achieved with nanomaterials, meaning any manufactured substance or structure with nanoscale features that can engage with cells in a defined way. The use of nanoscale scaffolding to emulate aspects of the extracellular matrix in order to support transplanted cells is a going concern, for example. Another line of research and development ...
