Scientists at Stanford Medicine have discovered a treatment that can reverse cartilage loss in aging joints and even prevent arthritis after knee injuries. By blocking a protein linked to aging, the ...

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

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 ...

(A) UMAP visualization of the 13,363 chondrocytes from healthy human cartilage. Color represents the chondrocyte subset. (B) UMAP visualization of the expression of representative marker genes for ...

A novel cartilage-regenerating injection blocks age-related degeneration pathways and shows potential to prevent osteoarthritis beyond pain control.

Scientists at Stanford Medicine have reported a discovery that could change how arthritis and joint damage are treated. In experiments on animals and human tissue, researchers found that blocking a ...

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 ...

Humans are the only primates that walk on two legs. Scientists believe that their uniquely shaped pelvis, the bones that connect the spine to the legs, makes this possible. However, researchers didn’t ...

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 ...
