Cartilage of articular joints grows and matures to achieve characteristic sizes, forms, and functional properties. Through these processes, the tissue not only serves as a template for bone growth ...

Human extracellular matrices can be edited in their composition using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, leading to materials exhibiting tailored regenerative capacities.

Scientists have unveiled a revolutionary method for mass-producing high-quality human mitochondria, potentially transforming ...

Chondroitin sulfate may support bone health by boosting cartilage to reduce stress on the bones. Osteoarthritis often softens ...

The cells within these tissues are surrounded by lots of collagen and elastic fibers, the proportions of which give each type of cartilage its distinct characteristics. Now, however, scientists ...

After collecting lipo-cartilage, knee cartilage, and groin adipose tissue from one-month old mice, the researchers used different tests to measure how easily the tissue deformed and how much stress it ...

While the common ancestor of vertebrates with synovial joints is still a mystery, the oldest specimen with evidence of these ...

During this time, the tissue acquires characteristics similar to native cartilage. For 24 months after the procedure, the participants self-assessed their well-being and the functionality of the ...

To accomplish this, the researchers first extract a small sample of cartilage from the patient’s nose and those cells are subsequently multiplied in a lab and then placed on a soft fiber scaffold ...

Cartilage repair is generally most effective for younger, active patients with well-aligned, stable knees and healthy meniscus tissue. However, as more older adults adopt active lifestyles ...
