A treatment that blocks an age-related protein restored cartilage in aging and injured joints by reprogramming existing cells ...

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 ...

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 ...

A tale as old as time - an athlete suffers a devastating knee injury, and their dreams are suddenly in jeopardy. Whether it’s an aspiring NFL player, a basketball star, or a weekend warrior, damage to ...

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

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.

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

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

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 ...

A single shot that appears to regrow worn knee cartilage and head off arthritis sounds like science fiction, yet early data ...
