So far tests have only been carried out on mice, human cartilage cells and cow cartilage tissue, but this new research shows that it could help to slow the progress of the disease which affects 8.5 million people in the UK. Scientists involved in the research are now keen to see how it works in humans. There is currently no pharmaceutical treatment for osteoarthritis and this may show that treatment through diet could be a safe alternative.
