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

Various forms of arthritis afflict nearly 600 million people worldwide and add $16.5 billion to the United States' health care bill, yet there are few engineered cartilage tissue therapies available ...

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 ...

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 ...

Boise State University researchers have developed a new technique and platform to communicate with cells and help drive them towards cartilage formation. Their work leverages a 3-dimensional ...

Researchers from ETH Zurich, the Friedrich Miescher Institute in Basel and the Cantonal Hospital of Lucerne have engineered ...

Here are four things to know. 1. Cartilage defects can occur from the overuse or straining of the knee beyond its normal range of motion. 2. The product, Maci, relies on tissue engineering to grow ...

An international research team led by the University of California, Irvine has discovered a new type of skeletal tissue that offers great potential for advancing regenerative medicine and tissue ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have created elastic and stable ear cartilage from human cells grown in a laboratory.
