Reverse Arthritis With Protein Block
from Science News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Stanford scientists have unlocked a revolutionary way to reverse arthritis by blocking a protein linked to aging, sparking cartilage regeneration in older mice and preventing arthritis after injury—potentially ending joint replacements. Targeting 15-PGDH, dubbed a “gerozyme,” they’ve shown it can restore youthful tissue function, even in human cartilage samples. Unlike stem cells, cartilage cells appear to rejuvenate by rewiring their genes, offering a new path for treating age-related joint damage. With clinical trials already underway for muscle weakness, this breakthrough could soon translate into treatments that repair joints, not just replace them.
