A recent invention developed by UCHC researchers using State Stem Cell Research funding appears to replace cartilage through the use of stem cells. Since UCONN R&D Corporation is interested in forming a start up to commercialize this technology, a grant worth up to $75,000 from the Center for Science and Technology Commercialization prototype fund is being provided to develop a prototype. Researchers Caroline Dealy and Bob Kosher developed the technology for which a patent has been filed. While this is not enough money to reach commercialization, it will allow Dealy and Kosher to generate data for a follow on stem cell grant or an industry partnership so that the full potential of this technology can be realized.
