Microbubble and Ultrasound Therapies to Enhance Cartilage Repair and Regrowth

017-022-sarkar – By combining low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) with lipid coated microbubbles, researchers at GW increased differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) into cartilage. Existing treatments for damaged cartilage include autografts, allografts, and total joint replacement. Autografts suffer from donor site morbidity and insufficient donor tissues, allografts have negative... Read More
