Researchers at Queen Mary's School of Medicine and Dentistry in London have developed a
silk like fibre that can be used to grow nerve cells on. The silk, called Spidrex, comes from
modified silk worms. The modified silk allows cells to bind to it easily.

Scientists led by Antony Hollander, ARC Professor of Rheumatology & Tissue Engineering at Bristol University
in South West England have successfully grown and implanted knee cartilage
into 23 patients. The process started by removing health cartilage from 23 patients. The cartilage is then
grown for 14 days in a culture. The researchers then deposited the cartilage cells onto a esterified hyaluronic acid
scaffold. They were grown on the scaffold for another 14 days.
