Osteoarthritis is a highly prevalent joint disease that leads to cartilage breakdown, pain and disability, yet there are ...

In patients with severe osteoarthritis, cartilage can wear so thin that joints essentially transform into bone on bone — without a cushion between. A new therapy that uses synthetic nanofibers to ...

Scientists have long assumed that once the smooth cartilage in a damaged knee wears away, the body has little chance of ...

Knee cartilage usually wears down quietly. Over time, that loss can turn walking stairs into a daily calculation.

Biomedical engineers at the University of California, Davis, have created a lab-grown tissue similar to natural cartilage by giving it a bit of a stretch. The tissue, grown under tension but without a ...

Cartilage tissue engineering aims to emulate the native environment and gradient structure of chondrocytes to promote the restoration of their extracellular matrix (ECM). Recently, cartilage-derived ...

Stanford scientists discover how blocking 15-PGDH protein regenerates knee cartilage in mice and human tissue, offering hope ...

3D bioprinting combines cells, growth factors, and biomaterials to fabricate biomedical parts. The process requires special “bio-inks,” often made of materials like alginate or gelatin. A key goal is ...

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.

Nitin Joshi, PhD, and Jingjing Gao, PhD, of the Department of Anesthesiology at Mass General Brigham, are the co-senior ...
