# Knee osteoarthritis treatment and monitoring advancements > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/knee-osteoarthritis-treatment-and-monitoring-advancements > Updated: 2026-09-14T17:30:09.000Z. Sources: 5. Developments: 2. Medical advancements in the treatment and monitoring of knee osteoarthritis have expanded to include minimally invasive procedures, biomaterial implants, and wearable technology. Researchers at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin developed a procedure called genicular artery embolization (GAE). This method uses resorbable microscopic gel beads to target abnormal blood vessels and pain-sensing nerves, aiming to reduce inflammation and pain without general blood flow interference. Further developments include the creation of GelrinC, a hydrogel implant by Regentis Biomaterials designed to facilitate natural cartilage regeneration. While approved in Europe, it is currently undergoing an FDA-authorized pivotal trial in the United States. Additionally, researchers at the Yale School of Medicine have demonstrated that wearable foot-mounted sensors can track patient mobility with precision comparable to laboratory motion-capture cameras, offering a way to monitor disease progression during daily activities. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-14: Advancements in knee osteoarthritis treatment and mobility tracking New advancements in knee osteoarthritis care include Regentis Biomaterials’ GelrinC hydrogel for cartilage repair and Yale-led research validating wearable sensors for real-world mobility tracking. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/advancements-in-knee-osteoarthritis-treatment-and-mobility-tracking ### 2026-08-27: Charité researchers develop new non-surgical treatment for knee osteoarthritis Researchers at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin have developed a minimally invasive GAE procedure using resorbable microspheres to treat knee osteoarthritis pain and inflammation. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/charit-researchers-develop-new-non-surgical-treatment-for-knee-osteoarthritis --- Cite as: Knee osteoarthritis treatment and monitoring advancements.
