![]() | DeNovo® ET is a scaffold-free living cartilage implant designed as an off-the-shelf product to repair and regenerate damaged knee cartilage. ISTO Technologies uses a patented, juvenile cell-based technology to produce DeNovo ET implants. Juvenile cartilage cells have far superior regenerative properties than adult cartilage cells (1). ISTO's patented cell-based technology harnesses the natural healing power of juvenile cartilage cells to create a living cartilage implant. The resulting implant exhibits biochemical properties similar to those of articular cartilage found in young, healthy joints (1,2). Furthermore, recent findings have demonstrated that allogeneic chondrocytes are immune privileged and may be transplanted without risk of rejection (3). | |
