The Biden administration launched a program under the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health focused on orthopedic tissue regeneration.
The Novel Innovations for Tissue Regeneration in Osteoarthritis will explore ways to help the human body repair its own joints, according to a May 18 news release. Under the program, NITRO will explore technologies in three areas: injectable bone regeneration, injectable cartilage regeneration and replacement joints made from human cells.
The program is the first program under the ARPA-H.
