We are a young company with an ambition to provide cartilage repair solutions to articular focal damages and osteoarthritis lesions. Our leading edge technology platforms provide us a head start, already obtained very promising results in animal models.
Our focus is to repair cartilage damages, whether they are caused by trauma or through degeneration as in osteoarthritis. We use stem cells of the donor to grow tissues of cartilage and bone as one construct. The construct in the form of an implantable plug is then implanted into the patient to replace the damaged tissues.
We are a spin off from the Tissue Engineering Laboratory at the University of Hong Kong. The Tissue Engineering Lab has developed many technology platforms in the last decade, and these formed the solid foundation of Living Tissues.
