UConn bioengineers successfully regrew cartilage in a rabbit's knee, a promising hop toward healing joints in humans, they report in the 12 January issue of Science Translational Medicine. Arthritis ...

Understanding how the knee joint environment affects cartilage cells is crucial for joint health. Knowledge of cell-driven cartilage degeneration mechanisms can support the development of effective ...

Researchers showed that a new hyaluronic acid hydrogel system can reinforce and seal areas of injured cartilage in animal studies, paving the way for future fixes and healing. A new biosealant therapy ...

Chennai: City researchers developed a two-layer implant that could offer a new way to treat joint injuries caused by trauma, ...

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 ...

Researchers in Singapore have investigated the use of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) exosomes to improve cartilage regeneration. They observed an increase in cartilage cell proliferation and infiltration ...

At joints surrounded by a sac of fluid (synovial joints), such as the knee, articular cartilage forms a thin layer that prevents bone from grinding against bone. Aging and intensive sports erodes or ...

In November 2021, Northwestern University researchers introduced an injectable new therapy, which harnessed fast-moving “dancing molecules,” to repair tissues and reverse paralysis after severe spinal ...
