Skate pequenos podem ser a chave para a terapia da cartilagem em humanos

Little skates could hold the key to cartilage therapy in humans
Source:Marine Biological Laboratory
Summary:Unlike humans and other mammals, the skeletons of sharks, skates, and rays are made entirely of cartilage and they continue to grow that cartilage throughout adulthood. New research finds that adult skates go one step further than cartilage growth: They can also spontaneously repair injured cartilage. This is the first known example of adult cartilage repair in a research organism. The team also found that newly healed skate cartilage did not form scar tissue.
