Researchers at Scripps Health will investigate the effectiveness and safety of using “scaffold-free” stem cells to repair ...

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 - ...

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 ...

Cartilage cushions joints, keeps movement smooth and pain-free, and reduces pressure on bones—from standing still to a ...

A ‘dancing molecule’ therapy, which was previously used to reverse paralysis after spinal cord injury, has now been applied to damaged human cartilage cells, demonstrating its regenerative effect.

Many people out-live their joints either from injury or arthritis. Some of those people turn to artificial joint replacement surgery, but depending on how long you live, those artificial joints may ...

Northwestern University researchers have found the second use for an injectable therapy using fast-moving "dancing molecules" to regenerate tissue rapidly, leading the biochemists group to hope ...

Historically, osteochondral lesions of the talus were treated with debridement with or without bone marrow stimulation ...

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 ...
