Biomaterial Delivery System to Localize and Direct Stem Cells for Enhanced Cartilage RepairBack to Projects

Unmet Clinical Need

Cartilage damage affects >30 million people in the US. Stem cell injections have emerged as a potential treatment, but the localization and response of these cells is uncontrolled.

Proposed Healthcare Solution

Biosealant therapy to stabilize injuries that cause cartilage to break down and enhance healing

Development Stage

Animal Testing

Funding Cycle

2019-2020
