“What has me and many others so excited about the HYALEX® cartilage solution is that we’ve taken a different approach and engineered a new materials platform from the ground up, that is designed to mimic the properties of native hyaline cartilage.”
You’re very welcome dear AnotherShorty, it’s a pleasure for me. I’ll surely keep you posted.
Although they’re related to injuries and disease, HYALEX® and other similar products show that we’re able to create artificial hyaline cartilage and implant it into a human being. Since growth plates are made of hyaline cartilage, this is another step forward in growth plate restoration.
Thank you AnotherShorty, very interesting link.
I think this technology by itself isn’t adequate to restore growth plates and lengthen limbs, but it could be used together with other technologies in order to make this possible, since HYALEX® mimics the properties of native hyaline cartilage.
Hi AnotherShorty,
yeah, we just can’t tell. Sometimes a simple small detail brings to big breakthroughs, so a new technology can come tomorrow, or within 5 years, or within 15 years, or it can’t come.
I think we’re just nearer and nearer to this new technology. For example, if scientists find a way to make HYALEX work as an artificial growth plate via stem cells, non-surgical limb lengthening wouldn’t be impossible anymore. Also LIPUS, as you said, is very promising. For these reasons, I guess we can be cautiously optimistic about the future.
I’ll keep you posted if something is moving.
