Brief description In Australia osteoarthritis is the leading cause of pain and disability with the majority of individuals displaying radiographic evidence of this condition by age 65. We are developing two novel technologies which use patients' own stem cells to repair damaged cartilage. This project involves both the advancement of these technologies as well as their evaluation using a sheep cartilage repair model. These technologies offer significant promise for those suffering joint pain.
