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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A tale as old as time - an athlete suffers a devastating knee injury, and their dreams are suddenly in jeopardy. Whether it’s an ...

Is it possible to grow tissue in the laboratory, for example to replace injured cartilage? At TU Wien (Vienna), an important step has now been taken towards creating replacement tissue in the lab - ...

University of Montana researchers and their partners have found a new method to generate human cartilage of the head and neck. University of Montana researchers and their partners have found a new ...

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 ...

Growing cartilage tissue in the lab could help patiens with injuries, but it is very hard to make the tissue grow in exactly the right shape. A new approach could solve this problem: Tiny spherical ...
