The Cartiligians

The Cartiligians is the name given to our people that work here at the Tulane Cartilage Lab, which was established on July 21, 1999. We are working to find ways of growing and repairing articular cartilage in joints. We are also looking for ways to slow and stop the destruction of a disease called osteoarthritis.
