Knees, noses and NASA: how can microgravity help us study and test bioengineered cartilage?

Knees, noses and NASA: how can microgravity help us study and test bioengineered cartilage?Knee osteoarthritis is a debilitating condition that affects 250 million people worldwide, occurring when the tissues in the knee joint gradually deteriorate, leading to pain, stiffness and reduced mobility.Professor Adetola Adesida from the University of Alberta in Canada is studying this condition using microgravity and developing solutions using the latest bioengineering techniques.
