Researchers at Stanford Medicine report that blocking a protein linked to aging can restore cartilage that naturally wears away in the knees of older mice.
In mice.
That's more interesting that a lifting. But I could do the same by doing slow stretch and avoid alcohol. But if someday a doctor tells me to slow down on the cheese I'll remember that solution.

I work with hundreds of knee replacement patients a year. Stretching and teetotaling isn't necessarily going to prevent knee cartilage from diminishing. It's certainly healthy, and will benefit multiple aspects of your life and well-being, but you give it way too much credit in this instance.
