Spanish scientists have proposed using human amniotic membrane as a new tool for repairing damaged human articular cartilage, which heals very poorly because of its low capacity for self-repair. Their research shows that the cellular density of the cartilage synthesized could be greater than that of the body's own natural cartilage.
