Professor Kenneth Dalgarno is one of the team carrying out research into treatment for early arthritis at a new £6 million tissue engineering centre, officially opened yesterday by local football hero Alan Shearer.
The Newcastle-led Arthritis Research UK Tissue Engineering Centre aims to regenerate bone and cartilage by using patients’ own stem cells which has the potential to revolutionise the treatment of osteoarthritis, repairing damage to joints caused by the disease.
You can read the full Press Office release and see a video about the centre at Researchers to work on new treatment for early osteoarthritis.
