Lessons from joint development for cartilage repair in the clinic
Developmental Dynamics, Volume 250, Issue 3, Page 360-376, March 2021., 2021 Abstract More than 250 years ago, William Hunter stated that when cartilage is destroyed it never recovers. In the last 20 years, the understanding of the mechanisms that lead to joint formation and the knowledge that some of these mechanisms are reactivated in the homeostatic responses of cartilage to injury has offered an unprecedented therapeutic ...
