Cartilage is the body’s most stubborn tissue. Once it wears away, it’s usually gone for good. This biological dead-end is the ...

A new study shows that engineered, cell-free cartilage can safely support bone regeneration without provoking immune ...

Advances in cartilage imaging techniques, led by compositional MRI and CT arthrography, could improve early diagnosis and monitoring of rheumatic disease, with artificial intelligence accelerating ...

Growing cartilage-forming cells under tension improves strength Lab-grown material similar mechanical, chemical properties to natural cartilage Artificial cartilage could help people with damaged ...

Injured cartilage can take the body a long time to repair, but back in 2014 we looked at a promising study where scientists created grafts from nasal cartilage cells and deployed them in damaged knees ...

This rare outcome in cartilage repair suggests true biological cartilage regeneration, not merely defect filling Unlike ...

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

Currently, in order to reshape cartilage such as that within the nose, incisions and subsequent sutures are typically required. Not only is the procedure invasive, but it can also result in scarring.

In this Review we describe three approaches for cartilage tissue repair at the rheumatology–orthopaedics interface: disease-modifying osteoarthritis (OA) drug (DMOAD) treatment; cell-based therapies, ...

For decades, damaged joint cartilage has been a one-way street toward pain, stiffness, and eventually metal and plastic replacements. Now researchers are uncovering ways to coax the body into ...
