Lucky horse Beyoncé healed bybreakthrough ChondroColl treatment

A showjumping horse has been first to benefit from a new Irish-developed biomaterial that can repair damaged knee cartilage.

But news is shortly expected of the first humans to be healed with ChondroColl, developed by researchers from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland Tissue Engineering Research Group (TERG), and the Advanced Materials and BioEngineering Research (AMBER) Centre, led by Professor Fergal O’Brien.

They came to the rescue of Beyoncé, an injured 16-month-old thoroughbred filly.
