NICE$$$$$ Using this new system, ISCO scientists generated a healthy cartilage-specific matrix from human mesenchymal stem cells that had significantly higher viability and cartilage specific properties, including: proteoglycan, aggrecan, hyaluronic acid, and collagen II deposition and glycosaminoglycan production. This new cartilage-specific matrix was built in 3D format and is ready for further therapeutic development.

"While the treatment of Parkinson's disease has always been at the forefront of our research efforts, we are also pursuing various other therapeutic indications. In one of those other areas,our R&D Team has significantly improved the process by which we can use the patient's own mesenchymal stem cells to potentially treat osteoarthritis," commented Russell Kern, PhD, ISCO's Executive Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer. "We are also thrilled to announce that this research gives us a basis to launch program to develop supplements designed to potentially reduce joint pain and improve overall mobility," he continued.
