Stanford scientists just solved one of the biggest problems with human aging.

They found a way to regrow joint cartilage.

They blocked an aging-linked protein called 15-PGDH, and the results were massive. Old, worn cartilage began to grow back in older mice. Human cartilage samples also showed signs of new cartilage growth.

This is a massive milestone for human longevity. Actual biological repair. Proof that the body can fix its own parts.

An oral version of a 15-PGDH blocker is already in human clinical trials for muscle weakness. If this same pathway works in patients with arthritis, joint damage will be repairable before surgery becomes the only option. Medicine is now helping the body repair itself. We're watching one of the big...
