Dancing molecules’ regenerative effects might be universal across tissue types

In 2021, Northwestern researchers introduced an injectable new therapy, which harnessed fast-moving “dancing molecules", to repair tissues and reverse paralysis after severe spinal cord injuries. Now, they have successfully applied the strategy to damaged human cartilage cells. Professor Stupp’s lab is also testing the ability of dancing molecules to regenerate bone, with promising early results, while simultaneously testing in human organoids to accelerate the process of discovering and optimizing therapeutic materials.
