Description: Arthritis and injury grind down millions of joints, but few get the best remedy -- real biological tissue. Kevin Stone shows a treatment that could sidestep the high costs and donor shortfall of human-to-human transplants with a novel use of animal tissue.

Kevin Stone: The bio-future of joint replacement

The bio-future of joint replacement

Biologic knee replacements offer a natural alternative to artificial components, using donor or animal tissues for repair.

Groundbreaking 'gal stripping' technique humanizes animal tissue for transplants, promising a revolution in joint replacements.

Harnessing 400 million years of evolution, bioengineered knees could outperform our own, making 'version 2.0' of us a reality.
