Summary:

The Centre for Synthesis and Chemical Biology is studying and developing new techniques using adult stem cells to restore damaged knee cartilage tissue:

"Professor Mohamed Al-Rubeai, currently a UCD Professor of Biochemical Engineering and principal investigator with the Centre for Synthesis and Chemical Biology and UCD Conway Institute has developed an economical tissue engineering approach which could offer new possibilities for restoring damaged or lost knee cartilage tissue."
