A new gel from UB is runny going into the knee, then firms up and slowly releases the drug for weeks. That could mean fewer OA injections.

It hasn't been tried in people yet.

External recruitment keeps failing rural sites. This didn't.

A Scribe-to-Provider pipeline hit more than 98% matriculation into medical, PA, nursing, or public health programs over 5 years, with shorter vacancies and better clinic flow.
