Researchers at TU Wien have developed a new way to grow cartilage from stem cells and guide it into basically any shape required. The breakthrough could lead to better ways to patch up injuries.

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 ...

Stanford scientists report early research showing it may be possible to regrow cartilage, offering new hope for treating ...

In a revolutionary discovery, scientists have identified a specific protein that, when blocked, allows the body to naturally ...

An injection that blocks the activity of a protein involved in aging reverses naturally occurring cartilage loss in the knee joints of old mice, a Stanford Medicine-led study has found. The treatment ...

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 ...

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - For millions of people with knee damage, treatment options can be limited — especially before a ...

It’s the holy grail in orthopedics: Finding a way to enhance damaged or naturally deteriorating cartilage. Now a finding in the lab stands to revolutionize joint care, turning back the hands of time.

Your knee contains articular cartilage, which lines your bones and allows you to move without pain or friction. Knee cartilage damage occurs when your articular cartilage chips or wears away. In ...

Cartilage coats the outside surface of your bones to allow the bones to glide smoothly at the point where they meet (the joint). It also provides cushioning to absorb shock and avoid joint injuries ...

The unparalleled liquid strength of cartilage, which is about 80 percent water, withstands some of the toughest forces on our bodies. Synthetic materials couldn't match it -- until "Kevlartilage" was ...
