Yeah, I had surgery back in ‘88 on my knee, and while it’s still not bugging me much, they took out most of the cartilage because of the damage in there. it’d be nice to not have to stress as much about what my knee will be like in another 10 – 20 years, So, the ability to regrow cartilage is always going to interest me:

Northwestern University researchers are the first to design a bioactive nanomaterial that promotes the growth of new cartilage in vivo and without the use of expensive growth factors. Minimally invasive, the therapy activates the bone marrow stem cells and produces natural cartilage. No conventional therapy can do this.
