This sounds like an incredibly promising treatment! Not sure what it has to do with AI though.

Hopefully not too far off because my dad can barely walk because of his knees being bone on bone pretty much

The interesting part is not that cartilage regrew, but that it regrew where it normally does not - cartilage is the tissue that famously does not heal, which is why this is a decades-old target rather than a new one. If it holds in people, the near-term question is what else stops being permanent: knees first, or every joint that medicine has written off as a one-way street. Which changes first - what surgeons can repair, or what we stop calling permanent?

Can everyone please ban OP. This is an AI spam account that just posts these same format comments with fake engagement questions every time.
