Breakthrough in Osteoarthritis Treatment: Regrow cartilage without surgery, drugs, or stem cells

[madman]

Investors and health tech innovators — this episode of New to The Street unveils a potential game-changer in joint regeneration. John Lai, CEO of PetVivo, and Linh Le, CEO of Piezobiomembrane, join host Jane King to discuss a groundbreaking new treatment for osteoarthritis that fuses bioelectric nanofiber technology with PetVivo’s regenerative injection platform.

Their collaborative solution mimics the body’s natural bioelectric signals to regrow cartilage without surgery, drugs, or stem cells. Early studies from the University of Connecticut show significant cartilage regeneration in just 2 months, with no adverse side effects. Backed by a new $2M NIH grant, this cell-free, biodegradable therapy could disrupt the $12B+ U.S. joint replacement market — and drastically reduce healthcare costs.

Thread 'Injectable Piezoelectric Gel Could Treat Osteoarthritis without Surgery'

8 minutes ago

* At the University of Connecticut, a research team led by Thanh Nguyen, associate professor of mechanical engineering and biomedical engineering, believes the future of joint repair might lie in a tiny electrical spark—and a simple injection.


* The innovation harnesses the body’s natural bioelectric signals to promote healing. The injectable gel contains a piezoelectric scaffold—a composite made from biodegradable poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) nanofibers and magnesium oxide nanoparticles. When subjected to mechanical stress—such as joint movement or...
