The bio-glass material could be used in the future to re-grow cartilage or as a cartilage replacement material. In the computer animation, the team show how a scaffold could be implanted behind the knee to encourage cartilage cells to grow.

The bio-glass material could be used in the future to re-grow cartilage or as a cartilage replacement material. In the video the researchers demonstrate how it can self-heal, which could make it a more resilient and reliable implant.

The bio-glass material could be used in the future to re-grow cartilage or as a cartilage replacement material. In the video the researchers demonstrate its shock-absorbing qualities, similar to how cartilage cushions our bones, by bouncing.
