Chinese scientists transplanted spinach particles into mice to teach them photosynthesis.

Biologists from Zhejiang University injected chloroplast particles from spinach into the cartilage of mice with osteoarthritis. This made it possible to restore the missing chemical compounds in the cells and cure the disease. They tested a fundamentally new way to treat joints and expect that this technology can be further optimized for the treatment of other diseases associated with changes in metabolism.
