Osteochondral defects, often caused by injury or various pathologies, typically lead to the onset of osteoarthritis, and may ultimately result in the comprehensive degradation of the joint and ...

We have performed a comprehensive analysis of gene-expression profiles in human articular cartilage (hyaline cartilage) and meniscus (fibrocartilage) by means of a cDNA microarray consisting of 23,040 ...

Cranky knees and other joint pains are normal in the elderly and sometimes even in the young. While these pains are rarely life threatening, those who have them know the burden and effect on quality ...

Stanford Medicine's June 2026 study in Science found that blocking the aging protein 15-PGDH restored lost cartilage in mice ...

Northwestern University scientists have developed a cell-free bioactive material comprising a complex network of molecular components that work together as a scaffold to mimic cartilage’s natural ...

Boise State University researchers have developed a new technique and platform to communicate with cells and help drive them toward cartilage formation. Their work leverages a 3D biocompatible form of ...

Northwestern University scientists have developed a new bioactive material that successfully regenerated high-quality cartilage in the knee joints of a large-animal model. Although it looks like a ...

Cartilage tissue equivalents formed from hydrogels containing chondrocytes could provide a solution for replacing damaged cartilage. Previous approaches have often utilized elastic hydrogels. However, ...

*Stanford researchers say an experimental treatment restored cartilage in aging mice and showed promising results in human tissue samples, raising hopes for a future therapy that could help address ...

LANZHOU, April 17 (Xinhua) -- Chinese researchers have made new progress in defective cartilage repair with the development of an implantable magnetoelectric bionic cartilage hydrogel, offering ...

Cartilage that causes minimal scarring after transplantation has been engineered by researchers. The method depends on deriving chondrocytes, the cells that secrete cartilage, from iPS cells. These ...
