Northwestern University scientists have developed a new bioactive material that successfully regenerated high-quality cartilage in the knee joints of a large-animal model.

Although it looks like a rubbery goo, the material is actually a complex network of molecular components, which work together to mimic cartilage's natural environment in the body.

In the new study, the researchers applied the material to damaged cartilage in the animals' knee joints. Within just six months, the researchers observed evidence of enhanced repair, including the growth of new cartilage containing the natural biopolymers (collagen II and proteoglycans), which enable pain-free mechanical resilience in joints.

Mitigation Strategies for Wet Market Food Safety Hazards to Prevent Coronavirus or Other Pathogen Outbreaks

Authored by Markus Walkling-Ribeiro

Due to the most recent outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV2), having spread on a worldwide scale and associated with a wet market in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, as the initial source of human virus infection, the need for systematic food safety engineering of wet markets is urgent.

Food safety hazards in wet markets are reviewed concisely in this work and different mitigation strategies are discussed, that are likely to have an immediate impact on potential hazards and aim at minimizing the chance of foodborne pathogen occurrences and transmissions at these markets. Moreover, the topic of pathogen detection and traceability is raised as a prerequisite for advocating the perpetuation of wet markets in addition to their cultural and existential significance.

With an emerging coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic looming on the horizon and the maximum risk level declared by the WHO [1], not only global containment of the SARS coronavirus 2 is a priority but also its mitigation [2]. At present the latter is typically related to quarantine of those infected and decontaminating associated contact persons and sources. However, some wet markets still operate unmitigated in China [3] as well as in other regions around Asia and in other parts of the world, whereas the wet market in the city of Wuhan, Hubei Province, which was suspected as original source of animal to human transmission has been shut down as well as others in large cities in China for the moment [4]. Following avian influenza (H5N1) outbreaks in Hong Kong in 1997 and 1999 with virus transmission from chickens to humans as well as the first outbreak of SARS coronavirus (CoV) in Guangdong Province, China in 2002, for which the original source of contamination has also not been determined to date but is also thought to originate from an animal reservoir, many wet markets have continued to operate as before, posing significant food safety hazards, while a few wet market locations started with setting up counter-measures, for instance, centralized abattoirs instead of on-site animal slaughter and the ban of wild animals sale [5,6]. Although wet markets are an integral part of culture, a traditional source for affordable and locally produced food, a place to meet and socialize, and many people depend on them to secure their livelihood in many countries around the world [7-12], with the death toll rising from the current coronavirus and the challenge to prevent pathogen outbreaks in mind many scientists in China and elsewhere have recently voiced their opinion to abolish (wildlife) wet markets [13,14]. However, due to the high transmissibility and rapid propagation of coronavirus [15] and other pathogens [11,16,17] and the likely migration across borders [18], a ban of wet markets would require all countries, where these markets can be found, to take this action in order to become an effective solution, which seems to be unlikely. By contrast, existing food safety hazards of wet markets and different strategies for pathogen mitigation are reviewed and examples for their implementation provided, thereby, effectively addressing the urgent imperative to engineer sufficient food safety solutions for wet markets (Table 1).
