This rare outcome in cartilage repair suggests true biological cartilage regeneration, not merely defect filling Unlike ...

Stanford researchers develop a therapy that regenerates cartilage and blocks osteoarthritis in ageing joints, showing promise for future treatments that restore joint health Stanford researchers have ...

Scientists at Stanford Medicine have discovered a treatment that can reverse cartilage loss in aging joints and even prevent arthritis after knee injuries. By blocking a protein linked to aging, the ...

A Washington State University research team is working to create an artificial cartilage that is similar to natural cartilage with a recipe that can be corrected along the way. Subscribe to our ...

Two innovative new developments out of the same laboratory have demonstrated that degraded cartilage can be repaired and regrown, first by using "dancing molecules" to target the proteins needed for ...

Along with bone, cartilage is an essential component of our skeletal system. Some of its important functions include providing shape and support to structures such as the ears, nose and windpipe, and ...

A research team from Northwest University, China, has developed a breakthrough nano-composite hydrogel system to address the dual challenges of inflammation and cartilage damage in osteoarthritis (OA) ...

Scientists have long assumed that once the smooth cartilage in a damaged knee wears away, the body has little chance of restoring it. A new line of research is challenging that assumption by showing ...

Running does not appear to cause sustained wear and tear of healthy knee cartilage, with research suggesting that the small, short-term changes to cartilage after a run reverse within hours. Running ...

Cartilage cells generate more protein components (collagen II and aggrecan) for regeneration when treated with fast-moving dancing molecules (left) compared to slower moving molecules. In November ...
