Ultrasound Rewires Immune Cells to Heal Joints | Science News
Scientists at the University of Alabama in Huntsville are pioneering a groundbreaking, drug-free method to heal injured joints and potentially stop arthritis before it starts—using gentle ultrasound to reprogram immune cells. Their research reveals that low-intensity ultrasound can shift macrophages from inflammatory to repair-focused behavior, rebalancing the immune response and reducing long-term joint damage. Early lab results show promising reductions in inflammation and boosts in tissue-repair markers, paving the way for non-invasive treatments that could revolutionize recovery from…
