Holy shit. Directly treating the cause of cartilage loss with pill-form treatment in human trials right now. The shit we've been doing with medical science recently is fucking wild.

As a 50+ year old mechanic, this can’t come soon enough.

The rich are going to live well

Bet soon I can buy this from a roided up guy in the locker rooms of my local gym. Middle aged power lifters would love to pop these pills.

Between this and growing new teeth, things are looking a lot more cyberpunk than before.

So…there’s a chance I can back into martial arts? Bring it.

What the fuck? All we ever needed was a pill? Is everybody stupid?

Damn mice's at this point they will reach immortality first. Then again thankful for that lol.

I wonder if you'd have to stay off of those joints for months to allow the regrowth to occur properly.

The question is "Does 15-PGDH do something beneficial and would suppressing it have serious side effects?"

I found this:

15-HPGD has an unappreciated role in the maintenance of pregnancy. In mice, 15-HPDG has been shown to have essential roles in prevention of early termination of pregnancy and maternal morbidity. In 15-HPGD knockout mice, early pregnancy termination was detected.

So any 15-HPGD treatment would have to be done with careful consideration of woman of reproductive age.
