Article Synopsis
- Newts have the ability to regenerate functional elbow joints after they've been amputated.
- Previous research implied that leftover tendon tissues might play a role in this cartilage regeneration.
- A developed serum-free culture system helped show that growth factors like FGF lead to increased cell movement and growth, with the potential for these cells to transform into cartilage cells, suggesting they could assist in joint regeneration.
