One of the areas of research that seems constantly on the verge of producing an impressive advance is the use of nanoscale scaffold materials to encourage regrowth of tissue, such as bone and cartilage. The space of possible combinations of techniques is vast, and there only so many researchers, and only so much funding. Advances such as the one noted here are published by research groups several times a year, and this has been the case for more than a decade now. This part of the field seems eternally in a state of progress and exploration, with promising leads, yet it remains the case that clinical options for regenerative medicine are far more limited than the space of the possible demonstrated in animal studies.
