Caroline Shinkle for NY-12Source: Patch Republican congressional nominee Caroline Shinkle has made unwavering support for Israel one of the

by Corey Walker

Republican congressional nominee Caroline Shinkle has made unwavering support for Israel one of the central themes of her campaign for New York’s 12th Congressional District.

Shinkle, a corporate attorney with a background in economics and central banking, is the Republican nominee for the 12th District — a heavily Democratic Manhattan seat being vacated by retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY). In November, she will face Democratic Assemblyman Micah Lasher, who won a crowded June primary to become Nadler’s would-be successor.

While her campaign also emphasizes economic growth, public safety, and education, it has distinguished itself through an unapologetically pro-Israel message, with Shinkle pledging to strengthen the US-Israel alliance and combat rising antisemitism.

Shinkle has called for maintaining robust military, diplomatic, and intelligence cooperation between the United States and Israel. She has consistently defended Israel’s right to protect its citizens from terrorist organizations and has criticized efforts in Congress to condition or reduce American security assistance. On her campaign website, Shinkle has framed her support for Israel as part of a broader effort to achieve “peace through prosperity and peace through strength” and a steadfast commitment to “standing with our allies.”

Shinkle, who worked at the Bank of Israel in Jerusalem, has also made combating antisemitism a central priority, calling for stronger protections for Jewish communities and condemning what she describes as the growing normalization of antisemitic rhetoric in American public life.

“At a time when antisemitism is rising in our streets, on our campuses, and across our culture, silence is not leadership,” Shinkle said on her website. “I will be an unapologetic voice for New York’s Jewish community, and I will stand proudly with Israel.”

It’s the only implant in America cleared to do it.

The founder was an Israeli engineer named Nir Altschuler, and he started CartiHeal as a spin-out from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, down in Israel’s southern desert, before building the company in Kfar Saba, just outside Tel Aviv. Everyone before him had tried to make better scar tissue, or to rob one part of the knee to patch another. Altschuler went and looked at the sea.

Here’s the thing about coral that stops me cold. The white skeleton a coral leaves behind is made of calcium carbonate, and its structure, porous and threaded with interconnected channels, is a near-match for the honeycomb inside human bone. Surgeons had quietly been using purified coral as bone graft for years, because the body doesn’t treat it as an intruder. It recognizes the stuff, moves in, and slowly rebuilds it into real bone. Altschuler’s leap was to build the implant in two layers at once. A lower layer to regrow the bone under the cartilage, and an upper layer, laced with hyaluronic acid, the slippery fluid your joints already make, to bring the cartilage back on top. One implant, off the shelf, no harvest, no lab-grown cells, no second surgery. They called it Agili-C

The operation itself is almost boring, and that’s the point. The surgeon drills out the ruined cartilage and the failing bone right under it, presses the coral in, seats it just below the surface, done. Then your body takes the handoff. The implant is a scaffold in the plainest sense of the word, a porous frame your own cells climb into, bone cells to the bottom, cartilage cells to the top, the coral guiding the whole way. Over roughly 18 months it’s designed to be largely resorbed, dissolving away as your own tissue fills in behind it. And what’s left behind when the coral is gone isn’t the coral, and it isn’t scar tissue. It’s real cartilage, the genuine article, confirmed under the microscope by the exact proteins only true cartilage makes. A piece of a reef goes in. Eighteen months later there’s no reef and no implant, just knee, and the knee is yours.

I’ve read about a lot of these devices by now. That’s still the most exotic thing I’ve ever heard of happening inside a leg.
