- In November 2024, scientists at the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) developed a method to enhance mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) for cartilage repair. By supplementing MSC expansion media with ascorbic acid, the chondrogenic potential of these cells was significantly improved, leading to more effective cartilage regeneration
- In June 2023, researchers explored the use of 3D-printed scaffolds incorporating graphene oxide for cartilage tissue engineering. These scaffolds aim to mimic the mechanical properties of native cartilage and promote cellular activity, offering a promising approach for regenerative therapies
- In July 2021, RSIP Vision, a leader in AI-driven medical imaging, launched an advanced articular cartilage segmentation tool. This software utilizes deep learning algorithms to automatically delineate cartilage lesions in MRI scans of the hips, knees, and ankles, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning
