An origami scaffold uses electrical repair cues and light-triggered heating to promote cartilage formation while limiting ...

Injuries to the articular cartilage in different joints, including the knee, are painful and limit mobility. Therefore, researchers at the University of Basel and University Hospital Basel 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 ...

The therapy works by unleashing fast-moving “dancing molecules” that help jumpstart the body’s natural repair systems. (CREDIT: Shutterstock Images) A new therapy that first made headlines in 2021 is ...

New research by an interdisciplinary team in Lithuania has revealed a promising and unconventional approach to cartilage regeneration. Using extracellular vesicles derived from menstrual blood stromal ...

A newly discovered cell type could transform how plastic surgeries are performed—from facial reconstructions to nose jobs. Cartilage transplants are central to many procedures, being used to fix cleft ...

ORANGE, Calif. (KABC) -- The cartilage around your knee allows it to glide smoothly as you bend and straighten, but once it's torn it can cause excruciating pain. Local doctors are now investigating a ...

A few years ago, researchers developed a novel treatment that seemed to repair tissue and spinal cord injuries. These so-called dancing molecules have now been applied to human cartilage cells, and ...

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 ...
