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 ...

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 ...

CHICAGO — Every time you bend your knee, rotate your shoulder, or nod your head, you’re using a remarkable piece 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 ...

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

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 ...
