For decades, damaged joint cartilage has been a one-way street toward pain, stiffness, and eventually metal and plastic replacements. Now researchers are uncovering ways to coax the body into ...

Stanford scientists regrow cartilage by blocking an ageing enzyme, reversing arthritis damage in mice and human tissue ...

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.

Right now, there is no cure for osteoarthritis. Treatments like physical therapy, exercise, pain medications, or surgery can ...

Scientists have developed a new bioactive material that successfully regenerated high-quality cartilage in the knee joints of a large-animal model. New material comprises peptides, proteins and ...

A microscropy image of the new biomaterial. Nanofibers are pink; hyaluronic acid is shown in purple. (Samuel I. Stupp/Northwestern University) (CN) — Scientists at Northwestern University created a ...

New therapy uses synthetic nanofibers to mimic the natural signaling of a protein that is crucial for cartilage formation and maintenance. Researchers found that intensifying the motion of molecules ...

Medical science stands at the threshold of a transformative breakthrough in orthopedic treatment as researchers pioneer technologies enabling natural cartilage regeneration. A groundbreaking study ...

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 ...

University of Montana researchers and their partners have found a new method to generate human cartilage of the head and neck. Mark Grimes, a biology professor in UM’s Division of Biological Sciences, ...

In adult humans, cartilage does not have an inherent ability to heal. Northwestern Engineering scientists have developed a new bioactive material that successfully regenerated high-quality cartilage ...
