Injuries of the knee resulting in damage to cartilage affect approximately 900,000 Americans annually, resulting in more than 200,000 surgical procedures. These injuries are frequently associated with ...

Researchers in the United States and Japan have discovered a new mechanism that links age-related cartilage tissue stiffening with the repression of a key protein associated with longevity. These ...

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 ...

In laboratory experiments, researchers have produced ear cartilage that remains form-stable in animal models. Only one ...

A new therapy that first made headlines in 2021 is now showing potential to heal human cartilage. Developed by scientists at Northwestern University, the technique was initially created to repair ...

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 ...

Scientists from the Keck School of Medicine at USC say they have published the first detailed description of the interplay between two cell types that allow lizards to regenerate their tails. Their ...

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 ...
