But it’s not a feature that we share with all vertebrates. Humans, other land vertebrates, and jawed fish have synovial joints. The lubricated cavity within these joints makes them more mobile ...

Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) presented new findings at the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) ...

Immunostaining depicts collagen-2 (cyan) and nucleus (magenta) at the articulation in the little skate embryo's pelvic joint. Synovial joints are a key feature of most vertebrate skeletons ...

The efficient architecture of our joints, which allows our skeletons to be flexible and sturdy, originated among our most ancient jawed fish ancestors, according to a new study. The efficient ...

In a recent study published in PLOS Biology, developmental biologists from the University of Chicago explored the origins of ...

Synovial joints are a key feature of most vertebrate skeletons, providing more mobility and stability compared to other joint types. A synovial joint allows bones or cartilage to slide past each ...

Synovial joints, the lubricated cavity that lets the bones in our shoulders, knees, and elbows slide smoothly against each other, provide freedom of movement to all vertebrates. Scientists have known ...

The new biomaterial comprises two components: a bioactive peptide that binds to transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGFb-1) — an essential protein for cartilage growth and maintenance — and modified ...
