Target discovered that halts osteoarthritis-like knee cartilage degeneration

There is currently no cure for osteoarthritis, but a group of scientists from the United States, Canada, and China has discovered a method through which a simple knee injection could potentially stop the disease's effects. The researchers created nanotherapeutics that they injected into mice that already had cartilage damage in their knees. The researchers noticed that these injections slowed cartilage degeneration and bone hardening and eased knee pain. No major side effects were seen in the mice that were treated.
