Stanford Medicine researchers report that blocking the enzyme 15-PGDH reversed age-related cartilage loss in older mice and reduced osteoarthritis-like damage after ACL-like knee injuries. In lab experiments, cartilage taken from knee replacement surgeries also showed early signs of regeneration after exposure to the inhibitor, findings published in *Science*.
