International Cartilage Regeneration & Joint Preservation Society

International Cartilage Regeneration & Joint Preservation Society The ICRS is the main forum for international collaboration in cartilaginous tissue research and joint preservation.

The ICRS is a charitable medical association, founded in 1997 and envisages the scientific research and the exchange of knowledge among physicians, scientists, patients and industry in the field of Cartilage Regeneration & Joint Preservation Recognizing that there is a continuum from cartilage injury to degenerative joint disease we bring together basic scientists, clinical researchers, physicians, other healthcare providers and members of industry, engaged or interested in the field of articular biology, its genetic basis and regenerative medicine. We seek to improve our patientsยด quality of life, decrease their disability and reduce the impact of degenerative joint disease on healthcare systems worldwide by preserving joints and maintaining function.

Decoding the Future of Cartilage: Biologics, AI and the New Standard of Care

In this interview, SmartTRAK speaks with Christian Lattermann, MD, our ICRS president, about the future of joint repair. He shares insights on emerging technologies, highlighting advances in mechanical correction, AI and biologics.

Dr. Lattermann explains how AI helps clinicians understand causes of degeneration that were previously overlooked. He emphasizes the excitement surrounding orthobiologics, especially extracellular vesicles, as a novel approach to guiding biological responses.
