Don't believe I have seen this (early trials) procedure mentioned on here, it seems fairly exciting when looking from this far away.  Does anyone know anything more:

Here it is appearing on a list of current trials.  I think this 3rd phase is scheduled to take 3 years from now, but its something to look forward to and reassuring that research is continuing in the field of cartilage regeneration:
