A treatment that blocks an age-related protein restored cartilage in aging and injured joints by reprogramming existing cells ...

Cartilage is largely composed of a single type of cells, called chondrocytes and various types of extracellular matrix proteins including highly sulfated macromolecule proteoglycans, small ...

The treatment also prevented the development of arthritis after knee injuries such as ACL tears often experienced by athletes ...

Cartilage, a connective tissue found throughout the body, is critical to the function of our joints. Tough yet flexible, it supports load and enables frictionless motion between joint surfaces.

A textile-based implant containing cartilage derived from stem cells reduced pain and restored hip joint function to baseline levels in a study of dogs with symptoms of moderate osteoarthritis. A ...

Cartilage is a type of connective tissue found in the body. When an embryo is developing, cartilage is the precursor to bone. Some cartilage remains and is dispersed throughout the body, especially to ...

Can nondestructive MRI provide a measurement of cartilage function? The delayed Gadolinium Enhanced MRI of Cartilage (dGEMRIC) index is highly correlated to mechanical stiffness, and, although not as ...

Dr. Lin Han, associate professor in the School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems (PI), received the 2021 Kappa Delta Young Investigator Award for research on the structure and ...

A new, dissolving, textile-based stem cell implant has reduced pain and restored hip joint function to dogs with moderate osteoarthritis, in what researchers say could be a first step toward less ...

Medical science stands at the threshold of a transformative breakthrough in orthopedic treatment as researchers pioneer technologies enabling natural cartilage regeneration. A groundbreaking study ...
