CDRI researchers have used a specific fragment of a protein secreted by the parasitic worm liver fluke to protect the cartilage of joints from being destroyed, thus preventing rheumatoid arthritis from progressing. The peptide does not cause a wholesale suppression of the immune system. A specific fragment of a protein secreted by the parasitic worm … Continue reading Rheumatoid arthritis: CDRI’s peptide effective in preventing cartilage destruction

Indian researchers develop 3D bioprinted cartilage
Millions of people around the world suffer from degenerative joint diseases such as arthritis. Despite attempting for the last 30 years, scientists across the world have not been able to produce in the lab cartilage-like tissues that are functionally and structurally similar to cartilages seen in human knees and have load-bearing capacity. For the first … Continue reading Indian researchers develop 3D bioprinted cartilage
